Stegle: Applied to 45K retina cells via DropSeq: reactome 387 processes, top one is 'hidden' explaining variability #ESHG2016

3:31am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Stegle: On second point - 'modeling zero inflation and dropout' - zero data is just not enough read depth; get imputed expression #ESHG2016

3:30am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Stegle: On challenge is computational cost of number of cells (from 100's to 100K). Second is cell counts vs seq depth #ESHG2016

Stegle: Cell differentiation, other confounding factors: generalizing to decompose the gene matrix (cells x genes) #ESHG2016

3:24am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Stegle: 27% of genes, var can be explained by technical noise. Shows correction of the cell cycle effect. #ESHG2016

3:23am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Stegle: Naive to Th2, Th1 etc: cell cycle has larger-than-expected impact on transcriptional variation than expected #ESHG2016

3:22am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Stegle: The covariance matrix is at single-cell level; correcting for factors that do not matter (apoptosis, cell cycle). #ESHG2016

Stegle: Observed exp profiles 'do not enable recovering of differentiation process' #ESHG2016

3:18am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Stegle: Many add'l biological sources of variation (cell cycle, apoptosis...) Example: hidden variation look at Gata3 exp in Th2 #ESHG2016

3:18am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Stegle: Single-cell RNA-seq is now 'routine'. Look at novel variation between cells; can get transcriptome-wide var #ESHG2016

Q: Timing of expression? Gilad: Some ideas to perform at the single-cell level, possible in the future #ESHG2016

3:09am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: Recommend: multiplex samples to avoid confounding batch effect to avoid bias #ESHG2016

3:06am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: Shows PCA, correcting for batch effect, that it matters a lot. (corrected clusters much better) #ESHG2016

3:05am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: Even when ERCCs added in bulk - but 'you have to think about it for a while' why ERCCs are affected by native RNA #ESHG2016

3:04am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: Shows 8 batches; use ERCCs to correct for this? Didn't work, as ERCCs affected even more batch-to-batch (!) #ESHG2016

3:03am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: There are differences in batches; conversion of molecules vs reads for each cell shown in a color graph; data shown #ESHG2016

3:02am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: Mean gene exp in bulk vs single: at 70-80 cells, recapitulate 90% of genes in bulk. #ESHG2016

3:01am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: ERCC and mean molecule count behaves 'slightly differently' than endogenous genes. Justifies use of UMI's #ESHG2016

3:00am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: (UMI - unique molecular identifier barcode). They are looking at getting around batch effects on C1. #ESHG2016

2:51am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite

Gilad: Impact of regulatory variation - more at RNA, ribosomal level; effect drops off at protein level called 'buffering' #ESHG2016

2:48am May 22nd 2016 via Hootsuite
