Counterfactual inference for single-cell gene expression analysis [PDF]
AbstractFinding 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 70k brain cells ...

Integrated microfluidic bioprocessor for single-cell gene expression analysis [PDF]
An integrated microdevice is developed for the analysis of gene expression in single cells. The system captures a single cell, transcribes and amplifies the mRNA, and quantitatively analyzes the products of interest. The key components of the microdevice include integrated nanoliter metering pumps, a 200-nL RT-PCR reactor with a single-cell capture pad,

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.
