ABSTRACT

We present the use of single-cell entropy (scEntropy) to measure the order of the cellular transcriptome profile from single-cell RNA-seq data, which leads to a method of unsupervised cell type classification through scEntropy followed by the Gaussian mixture model (scEGMM). scEntropy is straightforward in defining an intrinsic transcriptional state of a cell. scEGMM is a coherent method of cell type classification that includes no parameters and no clustering; however, it is comparable to existing machine learning-based methods in benchmarking studies and facilitates biological interpretation.
