Popis: Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) datasets now routinely profile tens of thousands to millions of cells. These data are invaluable for finding important subpopulations of cells and for closely studying the mechanics of gene expression. However, as these datasets become larger, they become more difficult to analyze. Analyzing and sharing massive single-cell RNA-seq datasets can be facilitated by creating a "sketch" of the data---a selected subset of cells that accurately represent the full dataset. In this work, we use an existing benchmark to demonstrate the utility of submodular optimization in efficiently creating high quality sketches of scRNA-seq data.
