Profiling Cell Type Abundance and Expression in Bulk Tissues with CIBERSORTx. Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) Steen, C. B., Liu, C. L., Alizadeh, A. A., Newman, A. M. 2020; 2117: 135–57

Abstract

CIBERSORTx is a suite of machine learning tools for the assessment of cellular abundance and cell type-specific gene expression patterns from bulk tissue transcriptome profiles. With this framework, single-cell or bulk-sorted RNA sequencing data can be used to learn molecular signatures of distinct cell types from a small collection of biospecimens. These signatures can then be repeatedly applied to characterize cellular heterogeneity from bulk tissue transcriptomes without physical cell isolation. In this chapter, we provide a detailed primer on CIBERSORTx and demonstrate its capabilities for high-throughput profiling of cell types and cellular states in normal and neoplastic tissues.
