Data-driven comparison of multiple high-dimensional single-cell expression profiles

J Hum Genet. 2022 Apr;67(4):215-221. doi: 10.1038/s10038-021-00989-9. Epub 2021 Nov 1.

Abstract

Comparing multiple single-cell expression datasets such as cytometry and scRNA-seq data between case and control donors provides information to elucidate the mechanisms of disease. We propose a completely data-driven computational biological method for this task. This overcomes the challenges of conventional cellular subset-based comparisons and facilitates further analyses such as machine learning and gene set analysis of single-cell expression datasets.
