Patrick Stumpf et al. use a machine learning technique called transfer learning to compare bone marrow cell-type information between mice and humans, based on single-cell RNA-seq data. Using their model, they identify aspects of cellular expression profiles that transfer and those that don’t, which can be used to understand when mouse models of human disease are appropriate.
