Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) assays are being increasingly utilized to investigate specific hypotheses in both basic biology and clinically-applied studies. The design of most such studies can be often reduced to a comparison between two or more groups of samples, such as disease cases and healthy controls, or treatment and placebo. Comparative analysis between groups of scRNA-seq samples brings additional statistical considerations, and currently there is a lack of tools to address this common scenario. Based on our experience with comparative designs, here we present a computational suite (Cacoa - case-control analysis) to carry out statistical tests, exploration, and visualization of scRNA-seq sample cohorts. Using multiple example datasets, we demonstrate how application of these techniques can provide additional insights, and avoid issues stemming from inter-individual variability, limited sample size, and high dimensionality of the data.

"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.
