FEM: mining biological meaning from cell level in single-cell RNA sequencing data
Background One goal of expression data analysis is to discover the biological significance or function of genes that are differentially expressed. Gene Set Enrichment (GSE) analysis is one of the main tools for function mining that has been widely used. However, every gene expressed in a cell is val...
