Differential expression analyses are ubiquitous in the realm of statistical genomics, used to estimate functional differences between genomes of groups of subjects. However, differences in tissue composition between groups may contribute to changes in gene expression, potentially obscuring the detection of functionally significant genes of interest. Deconvolution techniques allow researchers to estimate the abundance of each cell type assumed to be in a tissue. While deconvolution is a useful tool to estimate composition, several crucial considerations must be made when setting up and employing such a workflow in an analysis. We perform a deconvolution on GTEx coronary artery data using CIBERSORT and discuss the challenges and limitations in order to highlight future areas of improvement in the deconvolution framework.

"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.
