Why do scRNAseq pipelines (e.g. seurat) have the filtering step to remove cells that express over 2500 genes? Meaning, why 2500?

Does anyone know how this number became "default"? what is it based on? How deep is our knowledge of "average" , "healthy" gene expression of different cell types? Sorry if my question is trivial...

Good that you are thinking on this matter and asking questions. But I would have recommended to search for published articles before posting a question on this topic here.

I apologize I seemed to have published the same question twice. The other does state a scientific article

Sorry!

This idea is great! There have been many studies on peptide vaccines. mRNA vaccines use mRNA to translate antigens to stimulate the immune system to achieve immune effects. I think that replacing the mRNA in liposomes with peptides should be able to achieve the same effect. But there are definitely many problems that need to be solved.

Thank you linna
