Sintesi	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.	Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis characterises gene expression at the resolution of individual cells, enabling discovery of cell types, states, and transitions that are invisible in bulk transcriptomics. Starting from raw sequencing reads, the workflow produces a cell-by-gene count matrix and proceeds through quality control, normalisation, dimensionality reduction, unsupervised clustering, cell-type annotation, and a range of downstream analyses such as trajectory inference and differential expression between cell populations.
