Accounting for differential abundance in differential expression in scRNAseq

Let’s imagine a single cell experiment in which we have 3 biological replicates, treated (TR) and untreated (UNT). After all the necessary filtering and integration steps, we isolate a cluster of interest (cluster X), for which we want to test differential gene expression (DE) between TR and UNT. Ideally one…
