Time series from single cell assays are particularly susceptible to confounding as the measurements are not averaged over populations of cells. When several genes are assayed in parallel these effects can be estimated and corrected for under certain smoothness assumptions on cell progression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: We present a principled probabilistic model with a Bayesian inference scheme to analyse such data. We demonstrate our method\u2019s utility on public microarray, nCounter and RNA-seq datasets from three organisms. Our method almost perfectly recovers withheld capture times in an Arabidopsis dataset, it accurately estimates cell cycle peak times in a human prostate cancer cell line and it correctly identifies two precocious cells in a study of paracrine signalling in mouse dendritic cells. Furthermore, our method compares favourably with Monocle, a state-of-the-art technique. We also show using held-out data that uncertainty in the temporal dimension is a common confounder and should be accounted for in analyses of repeated cross-sectional time series.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Availability and Implementation: Our method is available on CRAN in the DeLorean package.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0john.reid@mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btw372","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,18]],"date-time":"2016-06-18T20:18:20Z","timestamp":1466281100000},"page":"2973-2980","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":121,"title":["Pseudotime estimation: deconfounding single cell time series"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"John E.","family":"Reid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge CB2 0SR, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lorenz","family":"Wernisch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge CB2 0SR, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020113440737300_btw372-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2937","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp511","article-title":"Learning gene regulatory networks from gene expression measurements using non-parametric molecular kinetics","volume":"25","author":"\u00c4ij\u00f6","year":"2009","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020113440737300_btw372-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"i113","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu274","article-title":"Methods for time series analysis of RNA-seq data with application to human Th17 cell differentiation","volume":"30","author":"\u00c4ij\u00f6","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020113440737300_btw372-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"714","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2014.04.005","article-title":"Single-cell trajectory detection uncovers progression and regulatory coordination in human B cell development","volume":"157","author":"Bendall","year":"2014","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"2023020113440737300_btw372-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1093","DOI":"10.1038\/nmeth.2645","article-title":"Accounting for technical noise in single-cell RNA-seq experiments","volume":"10","author":"Brennecke","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nat.
