CHOP and NJIT Researchers Develop New Tool for Studying Multiple Characteristics of a Single Cell

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, December 21, 2022

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) developed new software that integrates a variety of information from a single cell, allowing researchers to see how one change in a cell can lead to several others and providing important clues for pinpointing the exact causes of genetic-based diseases.

Key Points: 
  • Single-cell sequencing allows researchers to look at specific aspects of a cell to determine how it interacts with its microenvironment.
  • At the single- cell level, researchers can study gene expression as well as messenger RNA, proteins and even organelles within the cells in much greater detail and resolution than before.
  • The software, referred to as single-cell multimodal deep clustering (scMDC), uses machine learning to analyze data about different characteristics of a single cell.
  • The researchers conducted extensive simulation and real-data experiments and found that scMDC outperformed existing single cell single-modal and multimodal clustering methods on single-cell multimodal data sets.
