Counterfactual inference for single-cell gene expression analysis [PDF]
Abstract Finding a causal gene is a fundamental problem in genomic medicine. We present a causal inference framework that prioritizes disease genes by adjusting confounders without prior knowledge of control variables. We demonstrate that our method substantially improves statistical power in simulations and real-world data analysis of ...

Methods, Challenges and Potentials of Single Cell RNA-seq [PDF]
RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) has become the tool of choice for transcriptomics. Several recent studies demonstrate its successful adaption to single cell analysis. This allows new biological insights into cell differentiation, cell-to-cell variation and gene

Gene expression atlas of a developing tissue by single cell expression correlation analysis [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Drosophila wing disc has been a fundamental model system for the discovery of key signaling pathways and for our understanding of developmental processes. However, a complete map of gene expression in this tissue is lacking. To obtain a complete gene expression atlas in

SCANPY: large-scale single-cell gene expression data analysis [PDF]
SCANPY is a scalable toolkit for analyzing single-cell gene expression data. It includes methods for preprocessing, visualization, clustering, pseudotime and trajectory inference, differential expression testing, and simulation of gene regulatory networks. Its Python-based implementation efficiently deals with data sets of more than one million cells (

Gene expression analysis in microdissected renal tissue - Current challenges and strategies [PDF]
The architecture and compartmentalization of the kidney has stimulated the development of an array of microtechniques to study the functional differences between the distinct nephron segments. With the vast amounts of genomic sequence data now available,

Comparative Analysis of Nuclear Transfer Embryo Derived Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells. Part II: Gene regulation [PDF]
In a mouse model nuclear transfer embryo-derived embryonic stem cell lines (ntESCs) of various genetic backgrounds and donor cell types were compared with reference ESCs and analyzed comprehensively at molecular level as a second part of a larger study ...

Gene Expression Analysis by Multiplex Single-Cell RT-PCR [PDF]
Brain circuit assemblies comprise different cellular subpopulations that exhibit morphological, electrophysiological, and molecular diversity. Here we describe a protocol which, combined with whole-cell patch-clamp recording and morphological reconstruction, allows the transcriptomic analysis of the recorded cell.

Population and single-cell genomics reveal the Aire dependency, relief from Polycomb silencing, and distribution of self-antigen expression in thymic epithelia. [PDF]
Promiscuous gene expression (PGE) by thymic epithelial cells (TEC) is essential for generating a diverse T cell antigen receptor repertoire tolerant to self-antigens, and thus for avoiding autoimmunity. Nevertheless, the extent and nature of this unusual

Single-cell states in the estrogen response of breast cancer cell lines [PDF]
Estrogen responsive breast cancer cell lines have been extensively studied to characterize transcriptional patterns in hormone-responsive tumors. Nevertheless, due to current technological limitations, genome-wide studies have typically been limited to ...
