GLM-PCA dimension reduction is not affected by unwanted fraction of zeros variability and avoids false-positive results. a First GLM-PCA dimension (analogous to the first principal component) plotted against the fraction of zeros for the technical replicates with colors representing the total UMIs. b As a but using monocytes biological replicates. c Using the technical replicates, we applied t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (tSNE) with perplexity 30 to the top 50 GLM-PCA dimensions. The first 2 tSNE dimensions are shown with a blue to red color scale representing the fraction of zeros. d As c but for the biological replicates data. GLM-PCA using the Poisson approximation to the multinomial was applied to the same 5000 random genes as in Fig. 3
