[HTML][HTML] Batch effects and the effective design of single-cell gene expression studies
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can be used to characterize variation in gene
expression levels at high resolution. However, the sources of experimental noise in scRNA-seq …

Characterizing and inferring quantitative cell cycle phase in single-cell RNA-seq data analysis
Cellular heterogeneity in gene expression is driven by cellular processes, such as cell cycle
and cell-type identity, and cellular environment such as spatial location. The cell cycle, in …

[HTML][HTML] Discovery and characterization of variance QTLs in human induced pluripotent stem cells
Quantification of gene expression levels at the single cell level has revealed that gene
expression can vary substantially even across a population of homogeneous cells. However, it is …
