Abstract

We report the existence of deterministic patterns in statistical plots of single-cell transcriptomic data. We develop a theory showing that the patterns are neither artifacts introduced by the measurement process nor due to underlying biological mechanisms. Rather they naturally emerge from finite sample size effects. The theory precisely predicts the patterns in data from multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization and five different types of single-cell sequencing platforms.

单细胞转录组数据的确定性模式。

我们报告了单细胞转录组数据统计图中确定性模式的存在。我们发展了一种理论，表明这些模式既不是由测量过程引入的人工制品，也不是由于潜在的生物机制。相反，它们自然地出现在有限的样本量效应中。该理论精确地预测了来自多路误差鲁棒荧光原位杂交和五种不同类型的单细胞测序平台的数据模式。

期刊介绍： npj Systems Biology and Applications is an online Open Access journal dedicated to publishing the premier research that takes a systems-oriented approach. The journal aims to provide a forum for the presentation of articles that help define this nascent field, as well as those that apply the advances to wider fields. We encourage studies that integrate, or aid the integration of, data, analyses and insight from molecules to organisms and broader systems. Important areas of interest include not only fundamental biological systems and drug discovery, but also applications to health, medical practice and implementation, big data, biotechnology, food science, human behaviour, broader biological systems and industrial applications of systems biology. We encourage all approaches, including network biology, application of control theory to biological systems, computational modelling and analysis, comprehensive and/or high-content measurements, theoretical, analytical and computational studies of system-level properties of biological systems and computational/software/data platforms enabling such studies.
