Comprehensive evaluation of human brain gene expression deconvolution methods

Gavin J. Sutton, Daniel Poppe, Rebecca K. Simmons, Kieran Walsh, Urwah Nawaz, Ryan Lister, Johann A. Gagnon-Bartsch, Irina Voineagu

This study evaluates deconvolution methods for human brain transcriptome data, finding that cell-type signatures impact accuracy more than methods, and partial methods outperform complete ones.
