BATLAS: Deconvoluting Brown Adipose Tissue (Cell Reports)

By combining mouse and human transcriptome data, Perdikari et al. identify a gene signature that can classify brown and white adipocytes. Using a machine-learning-based cell deconvolution approach, they develop an algorithm proficient in calculating the brown adipocyte content in complex biopsies. This web tool allows in-depth characterization of adipose tissue samples.
