TLDR
This Review discusses the multiple algorithmic options for clustering scRNA-seq data, including various technical, biological and computational considerations.Abstract:
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows researchers to collect large catalogues detailing the transcriptomes of individual cells. Unsupervised clustering is of central importance for the analysis of these data, as it is used to identify putative cell types. However, there are many challenges involved. We discuss why clustering is a challenging problem from a computational point of view and what aspects of the data make it challenging. We also consider the difficulties related to the biological interpretation and annotation of the identified clusters.read more

Benchmarking principal component analysis for large-scale single-cell RNA-sequencing
TL;DR: A guideline is developed to select an appropriate PCA implementation based on the differences in the computational environment of users and developers to show that some PCA algorithms based on Krylov subspace and randomized singular value decomposition are fast, memory-efficient, and more accurate than the other algorithms.

Recent advances in the characterization of plant transcriptomes in response to drought, salinity, heat, and cold stress
TL;DR: The current status and future challenges in plant research related to understanding transcriptional changes that occur in response to drought, salinity, heat, and cold stress are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
MAIT Cell Development and Functions: the Microbial Connection.
TL;DR: In humans, blood MAIT cell frequency is modified during several auto-immune diseases, which are often associated with microbiota dysbiosis, further emphasizing the potential interplay of MAIT cells with the microbiota.

Hill,Laurie Issel-Tarver,Andrew Kasarskis,Suzanna E. Lewis,John C. Matese,Joel E. Richardson,M. Ringwald,Gerald M. Rubin,Gavin Sherlock +19 more
TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.
Journal Article
Visualizing Data using t-SNE
TL;DR: A new technique called t-SNE that visualizes high-dimensional data by giving each datapoint a location in a two or three-dimensional map, a variation of Stochastic Neighbor Embedding that is much easier to optimize, and produces significantly better visualizations by reducing the tendency to crowd points together in the center of the map.

Dynamic Programming
TL;DR: The more the authors study the information processing aspects of the mind, the more perplexed and impressed they become, and it will be a very long time before they understand these processes sufficiently to reproduce them.

Fast unfolding of communities in large networks
Vincent D. Blondel,Jean-Loup Guillaume,Jean-Loup Guillaume,Renaud Lambiotte,Renaud Lambiotte,Etienne Lefebvre +5 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a heuristic method that is shown to outperform all other known community detection methods in terms of computation time and the quality of the communities detected is very good, as measured by the so-called modularity.

Least squares quantization in PCM
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived necessary conditions for any finite number of quanta and associated quantization intervals of an optimum finite quantization scheme to achieve minimum average quantization noise power.
