Single-cell entropy for accurate estimation of differentiation potency from a cell’s transcriptome

Robust quantification of the differentiation potential of single cells is a task of great importance. Here the authors integrate single-cell RNA-Seq profiles with a cellular interaction network to compute the signaling entropy, and show that it can identify normal and cancer stem-cell phenotypes.
