We present Augur, a method to prioritize the cell types most responsive to biological perturbations in single-cell data. Augur employs a machine-learning framework to quantify the separability of perturbed and unperturbed cells within a high-dimensio...
'Polypharmacology' is usually used to describe the network-wide effect of a single compound, but traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a polypharmacological effect naturally based on the 'multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways' principle...

Metabolic modeling and machine learning are key components in the emerging next generation of systems and synthetic biology tools, targeting the genotype-phenotype-environment relationship. Rather than being used in isolation, it is becoming clear th...
Dropouts distort gene expression and misclassify cell types in single-cell transcriptome. Although imputation may improve gene expression and downstream analysis to some degree, it also inevitably introduces false signals. We develop DISC, a novel de...
Chinese Sichuan Paocai (CSP) is one of the world's best-known fermented vegetables with a large presence in the Chinese market. The dynamic microbial community is the main contributor to Paocai fermentation. However, little is known about the ecologi...
A major obstacle to treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) is our lack of understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability, a key characteristic of the disease. Here, we present a framework integrating high-quality neu...
Spatial transcriptomics allows for the measurement of RNA abundance at a high spatial resolution, making it possible to systematically link the morphology of cellular neighbourhoods and spatially localized gene expression. Here, we report the develop...
OBJECTIVE: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is one major type of inherited duodenal cancer. The estimate of duodenal cancer risk in patients with FAP is critical for selecting the optimal treatment strategy.
Non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas (B-NHLs) are a highly heterogeneous group of mature B-cell malignancies. Their classification thus requires skillful evaluation by expert hematopathologists, but the risk of error remains higher in these tumors than in ma...
