The aim is to develop a statistical framework to analyze transcriptional changes in single-cell RNA sequencing data, accounting for heterogeneity.
Introduced a two-part, generalized linear model for bimodal expression data.
Adjusted for cellular detection rate as a source of variation.
Performed gene set enrichment analysis specific to single-cell data.
The model effectively characterizes bimodal expression distributions, enhancing analysis reliability.
Adjusted cellular detection rates improved the accuracy of gene expression insights.
Provided significant insights into gene network evolution across different treatments.
