Background: Single cell RNA sequencing technology (scRNA-seq) has been proven useful in understanding cell-specific disease mechanisms. However, identifying genes of interest remains a key challenge. Pseudo-bulk methods that pool scRNA-seq counts in the same biological replicates have been commonly used to identify differentially expressed genes. However, such methods may lack power due to the limited sample size of scRNA-seq datasets, which can be prohibitively expensive. Results: Motivated by this, we proposed to use the Bayesian-frequentist hybrid (BFH) framework to increase the power. Conclusion: In our idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) case study, we demonstrated that with a proper informative prior, the BFH approach identified more genes of interest. Furthermore, these genes were reasonable based on the current knowledge of IPF. Thus, the BFH offers a unique and flexible framework for future scRNA-seq analyses.
