In the analysis of high-throughput omics data from tissue samples, estimating and accounting for cell composition have been recognized as important steps. High cost, intensive labor requirements and technical limitations hinder the cell composition quantification using cell-sorting or single-cell technologies. Computational methods for cell composition estimation are available, but they are either limited by the availability of a reference panel or suffer from low accuracy.
