BGP: identifying gene-specific branching dynamics from single-cell data with a branching Gaussian process

Abstract High-throughput single-cell gene expression experiments can be used to uncover branching dynamics in cell populations undergoing differentiation through pseudotime methods. We develop the branching Gaussian process (BGP), a non-parametric model that is able to identify branching dynamics fo...
