Detection of heterogeneous transcription • Genes with varying expression level within a homogeneous cell population • Count data with very high level of technical noise, due to a small amount of starting biological material (RNA from a single cell) • We look for genes exhibiting an expression level variability higher than technical noise • Proposed statistical method : • Based on the hypothesis that technical noise intensity depends on the mean expression level • Derives a model of technical noise from spikes included in the experiment • Detects genes with a between-cell variability significantly higher than technical variability
Relationship between noise and amount of RNA • Dilutions to reduce the starting amount of RNA • Low mean read count : high level of technical noise • High mean read count : low level of technical noise • Difference between dilutions : the count level at which the noise becomes dominant
Paper data sets • Arabidopsis thaliana • 7 GL2 cells • 6 QC cells • Technical variance is measured from total RNA extracted from human Hela cells + 92 ERCC spikes (External RNA Control Consortium) • Mus musculus • 91 cells • ERCC spikes
