The paper identifies and compares orthologous cell types across primate species using scRNA-seq data from embryoid bodies, finding limited transferability of marker genes between species.

CroCoNet quantitatively compares gene regulatory networks across species, identifying conserved and diverged modules, including POU5F1's rewired network in great apes.

This study evaluates background noise in single-cell RNA-seq data and assesses methods for its removal, finding that CellBender performs best for marker gene detection.
