Abstract excerpt
We sought to identify universal organizing principles behind phenotypic variation within cell types. Pareto optimality describes how trade-offs between optimal solutions account for variation, predicting that the boundary points of a data distribution reflect specialized functions. We hypothesized that transcriptomic variation was explained by Pareto optimality across all cell types. We then used the Tabula...
