Abstract
Motivation: Bulk RNA expression data is widely accessible, whereas single-cell data is relatively scarce in comparison. However, single-cell data offers profound insights into the cellular composition of tissues and cell type-specific gene regulation, both of which remain hidden in bulk expression analysis.
Results: Here, we present tissueResolver, an algorithm designed to extract single-cell information from bulk data, enabling us to attribute expression changes to individual cell types. When validated on simulated data tissueResolver outperforms competing methods. Additionally, our study demonstrates that tissueResolver reveals cell type-specific regulatory distinctions between the activated B-cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL).
