scFair: Geometry-Aware Gene Budgets and Same-Rank Extension for Highly Variable Gene Selection

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Zhao Li, Aaron James and Shengxuan Li | Summary: Background Highly variable gene (HVG) selection begins almost every single-cell RNA-seq analysis. While ranking formulas have been compared extensively, the integer gene budget at which any ranking must be truncated is typically left to the user and habitually fixed near 2,000. […]

scATrans: annotating single-cell differential expression as transcription- or stabilization-weighted using unspliced RNA

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Zhao Li, Aaron James and Shengxuan Li | Summary: Single-cell differential expression (DE) reports changes in mature mRNA abundance, but the same fold-change can reflect faster synthesis or slower decay. Metabolic labeling resolves this ambiguity but is costly and cannot be applied retrospectively to the vast majority of published […]

PLCβs are recruited to the plasma membrane in macrophages by both Gβγ and Gαq

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Maria Falzone, Priyam Banerjee and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: PLCβ enzymes cleave PIP2 from the plasma membrane, producing IP3 and DAG, which regulate intracellular Ca2+ levels and protein kinase C activity, respectively. They are regulated by GPCR signaling through the G proteins Gβγ and Gαq and have been shown […]
