Single-cell RNA-seq differential expression

Single-cell RNA-seq differential expression (scRNA-seq DE) analysis identifies genes whose expression levels differ significantly between defined groups of individual cells — such as cell types, disease states, or treatment conditions. Unlike bulk RNA-seq, which averages signals across millions of cells, scRNA-seq DE operates on the transcriptome of each individual cell, enabling fine-grained characterization of cell-population-specific gene regulation and heterogeneity within seemingly homogeneous tissue.
