However, the analysis of such measurements is complicated by high levels of technical noise and intrinsic biological variability. We describe a probabilistic model of expression-magnitude distortions typical of single-cell RNA-sequencing measurements, which enables detection of differential expression signatures and identification of subpopulations of cells in a way that is more tolerant of noise.en-USStatistical methodsGenome-wide analysis of gene expressionTranscriptomicsJournal Article2018-06-2010.1038/nmeth.2967
