Principal Genes: A PCA-based approach to highly variable genes selection for scRNA-Seq analysis
Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) data are typically represented as cell-by-gene count matrices, which capture the expression of each gene as detected in the sampled cells; often a heterogeneous population of multiple different cell types or cell states. Almost all scRNA-Seq analysis workflows have a gene selection step prior to applying clustering algorithms which helps remove genes with…
