5. Challenges: Single-cell RNA-seq data is highly
variable and noisy
• Many differences between
individual cells (even of the
same type)
• Biological vs. technical
differences
• Focus on the biological
variability
• Control for the technical
variability
• ex. measurement
failures (drop-outs)
6. Previous work: SCDE - use error models to get a
better handle on technical noise
7. Previous work: SCDE - use error models to get a
better handle on technical noise
• Estimate true
biological variability of
a gene
• Account for possible
drop-out events
• PAGODA uses these
error models along
with variance
normalization to more
accurately identify
variables genes

9. PAGODA intuition: Improve statistical sensitivity by
taking advantage of pathways and gene sets
• Rather than relying on a few genes, look for broader
patterns of variability
• Like GSEA
• Coordinated patterns of variability of genes linked to
function/phenotype == stronger signal
• Increases statistical power

24. PAGODA identifies multiple, potentially overlapping
aspects of transcriptional heterogeneity

25. In summary: PAGODA characterizes single cell
transcriptional heterogeneity
• Uses error models and variance normalization to accurately
quantify biological variability
• Identifies significant aspects of coordinated variability within
annotated pathways or de novo gene sets
• Enables users to identify and characterize single cell
subpopulations based on various (potentially overlapping) aspects
of transcriptional heterogeneity
