Leveraging heterogeneity across multiple datasets increases cell-mixture deconvolution accuracy and reduces biological and technical biases

Cell type deconvolution from bulk expression data rely on a reference expression matrix. Here, the authors introduce a basis matrix built using data from both healthy and diseased samples profiled on 42 platforms, reducing biases introduced by single-platform matrices built using healthy samples.
