LN’s t-test in single-cell transcriptomics dramatically reduces inflated false positive rates from default differential expression tests while keeping speed.
- Why it matters: Default differential expression tests can produce misleading cell population annotations because their false positive rates are inflated.
- What they did: The authors combine theoretical arguments with empirical studies, introducing LN’s t-test using an asymptotically unbiased log-fold change estimator.
- The result: LN’s t-test avoids these false positives and enables more reliable differential expression-based annotations without sacrificing computational speed.
