Improving reproducibility of differentially expressed genes in single-cell transcriptomic studies of neurodegenerative diseases through meta-analysis.

When examining the reason for this low specificity, we found an inherent weakness with these approaches: if a gene was highly significant in a small minority of datasets it would often pass significance thresholds after meta-analysis, even if no signal was observed in the remainder of the studies.
