Researchers develop universal AI algorithm to "clean" noisy single-cell RNA sequencing data

Just as asking a single person about their health will provide tailored, personalized information impossible to glean from a large poll, an individual cell's genome or transcriptome can provide much more information about their place in living systems than sequencing a whole batch of cells.
