Really enjoyed the talk of Sisi Chen at #RNGS21! The team combines popAlign and multiseq to unravel distinct drug responses in immune cells, leading to exiting yet sometimes unexpected discoveries🤯 😯I will watch out with artificial sweeteners...

Engineers place molecule-scale devices in precise orientation

Engineers have developed a technique that allows them to precisely place microscopic devices formed from folded DNA molecules in not only a specific location but also in a specific orientation.

Excited to share this work! We wanted to compare the transcriptional dynamics of the EMT across contexts, so we used MULTI-seq to generate scRNA-seq data for 12 EMT time courses and 16 kinase inhibitor screens. With replicates, 960 samples in total. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to announce that we've just posted a preprint on "Modular and efficient pre-processing of single-cell RNA-seq". Highlights: process #scRNAseq on a laptop, 10x processing up to 51 times faster than Cell Ranger. A new efficient RNA velocity workflow. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Modular and efficient pre-processing of single-cell RNA-seq

Modular and efficient pre-processing of single-cell RNA-seq

Analysis of single-cell RNA-seq data begins with the pre-processing of reads to generate count matrices. We investigate algorithm choices for the challenges of pre-processing, and describe a workflow...
