Show abstract
Identification of markers is an essential step in single-cell analytic. Current marker identification strategies typically rely on cluster assignments of cells. Cluster assignment, in particular of development data, is non-trivial, potentially arbitrary and commonly relies on prior knowledge. Yet, cluster uncertainty is not commonly taken into account. In response, we present SEMITONES, a principled method for cluster-free marker identification. We showcase its application on healthy haematopoiesis data as 1) a robust alternative to highly variable gene selection, 2) for marker gene and regulatory region identification, and 3) for the construction of co-enrichment networks that reveal regulators of cell identity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
