Improving Accuracy in Cell-Perturbation Experiments by Leveraging Auxiliary Information
Jackson Loper, Noam Solomon, Jeffrey Regier
Modern cell-perturbation experiments expose cells to panels of hundreds of stimuli, such as cytokines or CRISPR guides that perform gene knockouts. These experiments are designed t…
