TITLE: "A Non-Invasive Epigenetic Measure of Inflammation." ABSTRACT: Existing epigenetic phenotype tests often lack mechanistic explanations of the observed correlations between specific methylation sites and phenotypes. This raises the crucial question: are these correlations primarily a result of marginal correlations, or do they stem from plausible biological mechanisms? To delve deeper into this question, we […]

TITLE: "scDEED: a statistical method for detecting dubious 2D single-cell embeddings and optimizing t-SNE and UMAP hyperparameters." ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) embedding methods are crucial for single-cell data visualization. Popular methods such as t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding(t-SNE) and uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) are commonly used for visualizing cell clusters; however, it is well known […]
