A practical solution to pseudoreplication bias in single-cell studies

KD Zimmerman, MA Espeland, CD Langefeld - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Cells from the same individual share common genetic and environmental backgrounds and
are not statistically independent; therefore, they are subsamples or pseudoreplicates. Thus …
