Integrating Phylogenies Into Single-cell RNA Sequencing Analysis Allows Comparisons Across Species, Genes, And Cells
Abstract: Comparisons of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data across species can reveal links between cellular gene expression and the evolution of cell functions, features, and phenotypes. These comparisons evoke evolutionary […]
