CD8A and COVID-19: For example, when running the COVID-19 heart autopsy data from Delorey et al. (19) using the pre-sorted human RNAseq reference provided by CIPR, we noted a high concordance between the author-labeled “CD8 + T-cells” with the reference cluster “Effector memory CD8 T cells”, with a 75.5% precent positive correlation in gene signature (Figure 5).
