References:  Here is a sampling of relevant literature. If you find other interesting articles, please share them.

Most links below take you to PubMed, the NIH bibliographic database. Usually, but counterintuitively, from a PubMed abstract you click the icon of the publisher (or sometimes the icon saying "UW article online") to get to the actual article.

padlock   Journal access: Some of the journals and articles cited below are completely open access, or are freely available via PubMed Central (look for the "Free in PMC" icon).  Electronic access to other cited articles is generally free from on-campus IP addresses.  For off-campus access, follow the "[offcampus]" links or look at the UW library "proxy server" instructions.  Let me know if none of these work for you. padlock

References -- Single-cell RNA sequencing: Here are a few papers introducing single-cell RNA sequencing and its associated "dropout" problem. Paper 14 is about smart-seq, which is the most common scRNA-Seq protocol that sequences full transcripts (as opposed to just 5' or 3' ends). Paper 15 is a pretty good paper about dropout. There are obviously a bunch of methods trying to account for dropout, but paper 16 is a good example of a pretty straightforward zero inflation approach.
