Generating detailed and accurate organogenesis models using single cell RNA-seq data remains a major challenge. Current methods have relied primarily on the assumption that decedent cells are similar...

Various biases affect high-throughput sequencing read counts. Contrary to the general assumption, researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich show that bias does not always cancel out when fold changes are computed and that bias affects more than 20% of genes that are ...
