CellSIUS provides sensitive and specific detection of rare cell populations from complex single-cell RNA-seq data

Abstract We develop CellSIUS (Cell Subtype Identification from Upregulated gene Sets) to fill a methodology gap for rare cell population identification for scRNA-seq data. CellSIUS outperforms existing algorithms for specificity and selectivity for rare cell types and their transcriptomic signature...
