  • Publication number: 20150294062
    Abstract: A method for identifying a target molecular profile associated with a target cell population. A set of reference molecular profiles and a set of sample molecular profiles are received. Each sample molecular profile is associated with a sample cell from a sample cell population, which includes a mixture of target cells and reference cells. Each of the sample molecular profiles is indicative of a respective target molecular profile. An average target molecular profile is calculated. A proportion value is calculated for each sample molecular profile. A respective target molecular profile is calculated for each sample molecular profile based on the respective calculated proportion value and a closest similarity to the average target molecular profile.
