Disentangling Compositional Bias from Biological Signal in Single-Cell Analysis

The author is struggling to determine whether an observed difference in transcription factor activity between healthy and diseased samples is due to a biological effect or an artifact of compositional bias in the cell population. Specifically, the disease state is characterized by a greater proportion of cycling cells, which may be driving the observed difference in transcription factor activity.
