Bulk high-throughput omics data contain signals from a mixture of cell types. Recent developments of deconvolution methods facilitate cell type-specific inferences from bulk data. Our real data exploration suggests that differential expression or methylation status is often correlated among cell types. Based on this observation, we develop a novel...

... One future direction is to exploit the relations among the cell types, which may better capture the underlying phenotypic states of the subjects. A more recently developed method called CeDAR [51] uses known cell-type hierarchy as prior to infer CTS expression in bulk data as opposed to our de novo sub-cell-type inference and will leave a more detailed comparison as future work. Moreover, we can also extend GTM-decon to modeling multi-omic single-cell data to identify multi-omic CTS topic distributions and then use them to deconvolve multi-omic bulk data. ...
... Several computational methods were recently developed to take sample mixture proportions into modeling, to identify cell type-specific DEG (csDEG). Relevant methods include CARseq [20], TOAST [21], CeDAR [22], CellDMC [23], LRCDE [24], TCA [25], csSAM [26], HIRE [27] and DESeq2 [28]. A schematic overview is shown in Figure 1. ...
