Algorithm name

Function

Ref.

Nanogrid single-nucleus RNA sequencing

Developed a high-throughput 3′single-core RNA sequencing method, which combines nano-grid technology, automatic imaging, and cell selection, and can sequence up to 1800 single-cores in parallel.

55

ISOP method

It provides a novel method to express the isoform level and heterogeneity in single-cell RNA sequencing data.

56

UQ-pgQ2 combined with DESeq2

It improves the analysis based on intra-group comparison and applies it to the public RNA-seq breast cancer data set.

57

Average-based approach (gene-level expression) to isoform abundance/splicing event

It highlights the importance of splicing mechanisms in defining tumor heterogeneity.

58

SSCA and SSCVA methods

It can recover known biological characteristics from the data set and the shallow sparse connection autoencoders used for gene set projection.

59

SCmutt

It is a new and reliable statistical method which identifies specific cells with mutations found in bulk cell data.

60

CSMF method

It can reveal common and specific pattern scenarios with important biological significance from interrelated biological data.

61

EVA

It is used for evaluating the heterogeneity of gene expression in pathways or gene sets in single-cell RNA-seq data.

62

Digitaldlsorter

The algorithm deep learning scRNA-Seq deconvolution gene expression data.

63

VDJView

It can mine and analyze single-cell multi-omics data.

64

DUSC

The system integrates feature generation based on deep learning architecture and model-based clustering algorithms to obtain compact and useful single-cell transcription data.
