SAVER: gene expression recovery for single-cell RNA sequencing

…, R Bonasio, JI Murray, A Raj, M Li, NR Zhang - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
In single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies, only a small fraction of the transcripts
present in each cell are sequenced. This leads to unreliable quantification of genes with low …

[HTML][HTML] Bulk tissue cell type deconvolution with multi-subject single-cell expression reference

X Wang, J Park, K Susztak, NR Zhang, M Li - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Abstract Knowledge of cell type composition in disease relevant tissues is an important step
towards the identification of cellular targets of disease. We present MuSiC, a method that …

[PDF][PDF] Suppression of angiogenesis and tumor growth by selective inhibition of angiopoietin-2

…, M Kelley, L Li, K Sitney, F Martin, JR Sun, N Zhang… - Cancer cell, 2004 - cell.com
Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) exhibits broad expression in the remodeling vasculature of human
tumors but very limited expression in normal tissues, making it an attractive candidate target for …

[HTML][HTML] A nuclear pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is important for the generation of acetyl-CoA and histone acetylation

…, TH Stenson, A Haromy, K Hashimoto, N Zhang… - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
DNA transcription, replication, and repair are regulated by histone acetylation, a process that
requires the generation of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA). Here, we show that all the subunits of …

A modified Bayes information criterion with applications to the analysis of comparative genomic hybridization data

NR Zhang, DO Siegmund - Biometrics, 2007 - academic.oup.com
In the analysis of data generated by change-point processes, one critical challenge is to
determine the number of change-points. The classic Bayes information criterion (BIC) statistic …
