摘要

Single-cell allele-specific expression (ASE) provides valuable insights into gene regulatory mechanisms. However, its utility is limited by the lack of dedicated computational tools. We present DAESC + , a dual-module end-to-end software package for the processing and analysis of single-cell ASE. The preprocessing module, DAESC-P, is a user-friendly bioinformatics pipeline to obtain ASE counts from multiplexed scRNA-seq data. The analysis module, DAESC-GPU, is a scalable tool for differential ASE analysis powered by graphics processing units (GPUs). We demonstrated that DAESC-P is more accurate than the existing SALSA pipeline. DAESC-GPU is dozens of times faster than our previous method (DAESC) and scalable to over a million cells. Applying DAESC + to a subset of the OneK1K cohort, we identified 15 genes exhibiting differential regulatory patterns between naïve and central memory CD4 + T cells, and 2 genes between naïve and memory B cells.
