Abstract excerpt
The ability to discover new cell phenotypes by unsupervised clustering of single-cell transcriptomes has revolutionized biology. Currently, there is no principled way to decide whether a cluster of cells contains meaningful subpopulations that should be further resolved. Here, we present phiclust (ϕclust), a clusterability measure derived from random matrix theory that can be used to identify cell clusters with...
