Tools for finding Total RNA Expression Genes in single nucleus RNA-seq data


Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)

RNA abundance and cell size parameters could improve RNA-seq deconvolution algorithms to more accurately estimate cell type proportions given the different cell type transcription activity levels. A Total RNA Expression Gene (TREG) can facilitate estimating total RNA content using single molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization (smFISH). We developed a data-driven approach using a measure of expression invariance to find candidate TREGs in postmortem human brain single nucleus RNA-seq. This R package implements the method for identifying candidate TREGs from snRNA-seq data.
