Improved cell composition deconvolution method of bulk gene expression profiles to quantify subsets of immune cells

Abstract Background To facilitate the investigation of the pathogenic roles played by various immune cells in complex tissues such as tumors, a few computational methods for deconvoluting bulk gene expression profiles to predict cell composition have been created. However, available methods were usu...
