Detecting cell-type-specific allelic expression imbalance by integrative analysis of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data. by Jiaxin Fan, Xuran Wang, Rui Xiao, Mingyao Li

“…Although this can be achieved by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), it requires full-length transcript to be sequenced in single cells of a large number of individuals, which are still cost prohibitive to generate. To overcome this limitation and utilize the vast amount of existing disease relevant bulk tissue RNA-seq data, we developed BSCET, which enables the characterization of cell-type-specific AEI in bulk RNA-seq data by integrating cell type composition information inferred from a small set of scRNA-seq samples, possibly obtained from an external dataset. …”

Design of Polymer-Based Trigate Nanoscale FinFET for the Implementation of Two-Stage Operational Amplifier by Jami Venkata Suman, Kusma Kumari Cheepurupalli, Haiter Lenin Allasi

“…The major motivation behind transistor scaling is the requirement for high-speed transistors with lower fabrication costs. When the fin thickness or breadth is smaller than 10 nm in a trigate FET, charges travel in a nonconfined fashion, resulting in the creation of energy subbands and causing volume inversion. …”
