Abstract

Here, we outline p-Creode, a new algorithm to construct multi-branching cell lineage trajectories from single-cell data. Application of this platform to diverse sources of single-cell data demonstrates its robustness and scalability, while the discovery of a new origin for rare gut tuft cells showcases the utility of p-Creode.
