Bulk RNA-seq Deconvolution using Genetic Algorithm

A genetic algorithm implementation for deconvolving bulk RNA-seq data into cell type proportions.

Problem Description

Given:

• M: Bulk expression matrix (genes x samples)
• H: Reference signature matrix (genes x celltypes)

Find X (celltypes x samples) such that M = HX, where each column of X represents cell type proportions for a sample (summing to 1).
