Profiling thousands of single cell transcriptomes is routine, yet cell prioritization based on response to biological perturbations is challenging and confounded by clustering, normalization and dimensionality reduction strategies. We developed a scoring approach independent of these obstacles that unbiasedly identifies distinct transcriptomes within a set based on missing data patterns, allowing cell prioritization and feature selection for downstream analysis. Our method applied to D. discoideum reveals a metabolic shift that marks the transition between the amoeboid and aggregated states of this model organism.
Matching journals
The top 3 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.
"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.
