  • scRNA-seq has been used to deconvolve immune cell type heterogeneity by identifying novel distinct immune cell subsets in health and disease.

    “scRNA-seq has been used to deconvolve immune cell type heterogeneity by identifying novel distinct immune cell subsets in health and disease”

    From Cross-Species Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Divergence of the Primate Microglia Program (2019) · cites this paper as Jaitin et al., 2014

    The indexed text (section labeled Abstract; page unavailable) reports that single-cell RNA-seq distinguished immune-cell populations in mouse spleen and revealed new transcriptional subpopulations after LPS exposure. But LPS was used to mimic infection; the paper does not report studying disease, and it cautions that transcriptional subpopulations need not be distinct, committed cell subtypes. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • Single-cell RNA sequencing has emerged as a powerful method for unbiased discovery of cell types and states based on gene activity.

    “single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful method for unbiased discovery of cell types and states based on gene activity (Islam et al., 2011, Jaitin et al., 2014, Macosko et al., 2015, Ramsköld et al., 2012, Shekhar et al., 2016, Tang et al., 2009, Tasic et al., 2016, Usoskin et al., 2015, Zeisel et al., 2015)”

    From Molecular Architecture of the Mouse Nervous System (2018) · cites this paper as Jaitin et al., 2014

  • The level of spurious UMIs in the data was estimated using statistics on empty MARS-seq wells as previously described.

    “We estimated the level of spurious UMIs in the data using statistics on empty MARS-seq wells as previously described (Jaitin et al., 2014).”

    From Cross-Species Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Divergence of the Primate Microglia Program (2019) · cites this paper as Jaitin et al., 2014

    The indexed text describes MARS-Seq’s molecular barcoding, molecule counting, and filtering in the section labeled Abstract, but does not describe estimating spurious UMIs from empty wells. Searches for “empty MARS-seq wells spurious UMIs” and “empty wells background noise molecular barcodes false molecules” found no passage addressing that procedure. (LLM, conf=0.72)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • By counting molecules rather than the number of amplified sequencing reads, one can account for biases related to amplification and obtain more accurate estimates of gene expression levels.

    “The rationale is that by counting molecules rather than the number of amplified sequencing reads, one can account for biases related to amplification, and obtain more accurate estimates of gene expression levels71220.”
  • As few as 20,000 reads have been used to differentiate cell types in splenic tissue.

    “When studying single cells, which have limited sample complexity, quantification is often carried out with just one million reads but may be done reliably for highly expressed genes with as few as 50,000 reads [8]; even 20,000 reads have been used to differentiate cell types in splenic tissue [9].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
