Research direction

Start by reviewing Scanpy's existing HVG functionality and the analytical approach offered by Rapids-singlecell, while comparing it with SCVI's Monte Carlo approach. Define the requested Poisson gene-selection parameters, expected behavior, and validation criteria before identifying tests. Done means Scanpy supports and validates analytical Poisson HVG selection.
