Cell types can be characterized by expression profiles derived from single-cell RNA-seq. Subpopulations are identified via clustering, yielding intuitive outcomes that can be validated by marker genes. Clustering, however, implies a discretization that cannot capture the continuous nature of differentiation processes. One could give up the detection of subpopulations and directly estimate the differentiation process from cell profiles. A combination of both types of information, however, is pref ...[more]
