Abstract

Digital tissue deconvolution (DTD) estimates the cellular composition of a tissue from its bulk gene-expression profile. For this, DTD approximates the bulk as a mixture of cell-specific expression profiles. Different tissues have different cellular compositions, with cells in different activation states, and embedded in different environments. Consequently, DTD can profit from tailoring the deconvolution model to a specific tissue context. Loss-function learning adapts DTD to a specific tissue context, such as the deconvolution of blood, or a specific type of tumor tissue. We provide software for loss-function learning, for its validation and visualization, and for applying the DTD models to new data.
