DTFLOW: Inference and Visualization of Single-cell Pseudotime Trajectory Using Diffusion Propagation

One of the major challenges in single-cell data analysis is the determination of cellular developmental trajectories using single-cell data. Although substantial studies have been conducted in recent years, more effective methods are still strongly needed to infer the developmental processes accurat...
