  1. The datasets are the full 33k PBMC dataset, the PBMC dataset after selecting 1, 000 HVGs, and the organogenesis dataset [39] after selecting 2, 000 HVGs. Genes with largest Pearson residual variances were selected, which took 9 s (PBMC) and 15 min (organogenesis), respectively. See “Methods” for details. All runtimes measured on a machine with 256 Gb RAM and 30 CPU threads at 2.1 GHz
