Robust enumeration of cell subsets from tissue expression profiles

TL;DR: CIBERSORT outperformed other methods with respect to noise, unknown mixture content and closely related cell types when applied to enumeration of hematopoietic subsets in RNA mixtures from fresh, frozen and fixed tissues, including solid tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

xCell: digitally portraying the tissue cellular heterogeneity landscape

TL;DR: This work presents xCell, a novel gene signature-based method, and uses it to infer 64 immune and stromal cell types and shows that xCell outperforms other methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determining cell type abundance and expression from bulk tissues with digital cytometry.

TL;DR: The utility of CIBERSORTx is evaluated in multiple tumor types, including melanoma, where single-cell reference profiles were used to dissect bulk clinical specimens, revealing cell-type-specific phenotypic states linked to distinct driver mutations and response to immune checkpoint blockade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating the population abundance of tissue-infiltrating immune and stromal cell populations using gene expression

TL;DR: The Microenvironment Cell Populations-counter method is introduced, which allows the robust quantification of the absolute abundance of eight immune and two stromal cell populations in heterogeneous tissues from transcriptomic data and demonstrates that MCP-counter overcomes several limitations or weaknesses of previously proposed computational approaches.

A Single-Cell Transcriptomic Map of the Human and Mouse Pancreas Reveals Inter- and Intra-cell Population Structure.

TL;DR: A droplet-based, single-cell RNA-seq method is implemented to determine the transcriptomes of over 12,000 individual pancreatic cells from four human donors and two mouse strains and provides a resource for the discovery of novel cell type-specific transcription factors, signaling receptors, and medically relevant genes.

DNA methylation arrays as surrogate measures of cell mixture distribution

TL;DR: This work presents a method, similar to regression calibration, for inferring changes in the distribution of white blood cells between different subpopulations using DNA methylation signatures, in combination with a previously obtained external validation set consisting of signatures from purified leukocyte samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Full-length mRNA-Seq from single-cell levels of RNA and individual circulating tumor cells

TL;DR: Applying Smart-Seq to circulating tumor cells from melanomas, it is found that although gene expression estimates from single cells have increased noise, hundreds of differentially expressed genes could be identified using few cells per cell type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow cytometry and cell sorting of heterogeneous microbial populations: the importance of single-cell analyses.

TL;DR: Flow cytometry is a technique, which allows one to analyze cells rapidly and individually and permits the quantitative analysis of microbial heterogeneity, and offers many advantages over conventional measurements for both routine and more exploratory analyses of microbial properties.
