Improving reproducibility of differentially expressed genes in single-cell transcriptomic studies of neurodegenerative diseases through meta-analysis

5 months 3 weeks ago
False positive claims of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in scRNA-seq studies are of substantial concern. We found that DEGs from individual Parkinson's (PD), Huntington's (HD), and COVID-19 datasets had moderate predictive power for case-control status of other datasets, but DEGs from Alzheimer's (AD) and Schizophrenia (SCZ) datasets had poor predictive power. We developed a non-parametric meta-analysis method, SumRank, based on reproducibility of relative differential expression ranks...
