Statistical Analysis

UCLA researchers have developed an “all-in-one,” next-generation statistical simulator capable of assimilating a wide range of information to generate realistic synthetic data and provide a benchmarking tool for medical and biological researchers who use advanced...

In prokaryotic RNA-seq library preparation, rRNA depletion is required to remove highly abundant rRNA transcripts from total RNA. rRNA is so...

Unsupervised clustering of single-cell RNA-sequencing data enables the identification and discovery of distinct cell populations. However, the most widely used clustering algorithms are heuristic and do not formally account for statistical uncertainty...

With the advent of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), it is possible to measure the expression dynamics of genes at the single-cell level. Through scRNA-seq, a huge amount of expression data for several thousand(s) of genes over million(s) of cells are generated ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to diagnose disease is an effective technique in medical research. Several statistical methods have...

Researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill propose TWO-SIGMA-G, a competitive gene set...

The application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) for the evaluation of chemicals, drugs, and food contaminants presents the opportunity to consider cellular heterogeneity in pharmacological and...

RNA velocity is a promising technique for quantifying cellular transitions from single-cell transcriptome experiments and revealing transient cellular dynamics among a heterogeneous cell population. However, the cell transitions estimated from high-dimensional RNA velocity are often unstable or inaccurate, partly due ...

Most predictive models based on gene expression data do not leverage information related to gene splicing, despite the fact that splicing is a fundamental feature of eukaryotic gene expression. Cigarette smoking is an important environmental risk factor for many diseases, ...

Mapping genetic variants that regulate gene expression (eQTLs) in large-scale RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) studies is often employed to understand functional consequences of regulatory variants...
