different methods perform best on different data sets (Cobos et al, Nature Communications, 2020) • Benchmarking results from different papers on “real” data ◦ MuSiC paper: MuSiC > NNLS > BSEQ-sx > CIBERSORT ▪ Pancreatic Islet: Beta cells vs. HbA1c (Fig 2a) ◦ Bisque paper: Bisque > MuSiC > CIBERSORT ▪ DLPFC: Microglia vs. Braak stage, Neuron vs. Cognitive diagnostic category (Fig 4) ◦ SCDC paper: SCDC > MuSiC > Bisque > DWLS > CIBERSORT ▪ Pancreatic Islet: Beta cells vs. HbA1c (Fig 4b) ◦ Cobos benchmark: DWLS > MuSiC > Bisque > deconvoSeq ▪ Human PMBC flow sorted (Fig 7) 29 Louise A Huuki-Myers @lahuuki
