"""RBP perturbation validation: compare scPTR network predictions with
Replogle 2022 CRISPRi Perturb-seq data (via Harmonizome API).
For each RBP hub identified by scPTR (via Spearman correlation between
RBP expression and target gamma), we test whether its predicted targets
are enriched among genes differentially expressed upon RBP knockdown.
This validates the causal direction: if scPTR correctly identifies that RBP X
regulates gene Y's degradation, then knocking down RBP X should change Y's
expression level.
