+summary: "SCA: recovering single-cell heterogeneity through information-based dimensionality reduction"
+description: |
+  Surprisal Component Analysis (SCA) is a dimensionality reduction technique 
+  for single-cell data which leverages mathematical information theory to 
+  identify biologically informative axes of variation in single-cell
+  transcriptomic data, enabling recovery of rare and common cell types
