Emerging Diagnostic Modalities & Innovation

The left panel depicts a potential-like landscape, where white streamlines represent the inferred trajectory of cell states across time. Although single-cell RNA sequencing captures only static snapshots of cells, ddHodge reconstructs the patch-worked dynamical structure by connecting many local “nows” into a coherent global picture. The right panel shows a graph-based representation of high-dimensional cell states, on which local geometry is preserved to quantify key dynamical properties such as stability, divergence, and rotational components.
