MAST: a flexible statistical framework for assessing transcriptional changes and characterizing heterogeneity in single-cell RNA sequencing data

TL;DR: This work argues that the cellular detection rate, the fraction of genes expressed in a cell, should be adjusted for as a source of nuisance variation and provides gene set enrichment analysis tailored to single-cell data.

MAST: A flexible statistical framework for assessing transcriptional changes and characterizing heterogeneity in single-cell RNA-seq data

TL;DR: A new methodology to analyze single-cell transcriptomic data is presented that models this bimodality within a coherent generalized linear modeling framework, and the cellular detection rate, the fraction of genes turned on in a cell, is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo survival and homeostatic proliferation of natural killer cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that mouse NK cells undergo homeostatic proliferation when transferred into NK-deficient Rag+/− γC−/− hosts, and that mature NK survival is critically dependent on interleukin (IL)-15, implying that IL-15 responsiveness by bystander cells is critical for NK maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Duration of the initial TCR stimulus controls the magnitude but not functionality of the CD8+ T cell response

TL;DR: The results indicate that the duration of initial antigen encounter influences the magnitude of the primary response, but does not program responsiveness during the secondary challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct Effects of STAT5 Activation on CD4+ and CD8+ T Cell Homeostasis: Development of CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells versus CD8+ Memory T Cells

TL;DR: It is established that activation of STAT5 is the primary mechanism underlying both IL-7/IL-15-dependent homeostatic proliferation of naive and memory CD8+ T cells and IL-2-dependent development of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.
