Biological process activity transformation of single cell gene expression for cross-species alignment

Single cell RNA-Seq data can report on cellular types and states, but low signal-to noise and sparse data can make interpretation of cellular state difficult. Here the authors propose a transformation strategy to map RNA-Seq data to biological process activities that are species-agnostic and allow f...
