Scalable analysis of cell-type composition from single-cell transcriptomics using deep recurrent learning

Nat Methods. 2019 Apr;16(4):311-314. doi: 10.1038/s41592-019-0353-7. Epub 2019 Mar 18.

Abstract

Recent advances in large-scale single-cell RNA-seq enable fine-grained characterization of phenotypically distinct cellular states in heterogeneous tissues. We present scScope, a scalable deep-learning-based approach that can accurately and rapidly identify cell-type composition from millions of noisy single-cell gene-expression profiles.
