Abstract

Single cell transcriptomics (SCT) reveals cellular patterns that are masked and hidden in bulk RNA experiments. We analyzed 100 human SCT data sets for summary patterns that quantify gene expression per individual cell as well as per gene. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) show patterns different to those of cancer cell lines, stem cells, embryonic stem cells and other cell types. The results indicate that classification methods based on overall properties of SCT data sets provide a useful first step for classification of cell types and subtypes.
