Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows studying the development of cells in unprecedented detail. Given that many cellular differentiation processes are hierarchical, their scRNA-seq data are expected to be approximately tree-shaped in gene expression space. Inference and representation of this tree structure in two dimensions is highly desirable for biological interpretation and exploratory analysis.
