From: Defining cell identity beyond the premise of differential gene expression
Schematic illustrating the expression of differentially distributed genes for a cell type of interest from single-cell RNA-seq data (scRNA-seq). The hypothetical scRNA-seq data consists of three cell types, which can be visualised as distinct clusters in the low dimensional space (left). Typical expression pattern of genes identified from using two differential analysis methods: differential distribution (top) and traditional differential expression (bottom)
