We're incredibly proud to release scnanoseq. It's been a rewarding journey to develop a pipeline that is modular, implements robust methods, & enhances reproducibility & accessibility of computational workflows. This is also the first nf-core pipeline from UAB!
~ Austyn & Lara
Pipeline release! nf-core/scnanoseq v1.0.0 - nf-core/scnanoseq v1.0.0 - Titanium Toad!
Please see the changelog: github.com/nf-core/scnanoseq…
The UAB Biological Data Science core is hiring!
We’re looking for a computational biologist, ideally with transcriptomics analysis experience to join our team.
Please view details below & feel free to reach with questions.

Congratulations to CNC faculty Lara Ianov and Farah Lubin on well-deserved Dean's Excellence Awards for Service and Mentoring!
Congratulations to the 2025 Dean’s Excellence Award winners for faculty! This group exemplifies the best of the Heersink School of Medicine. #UABHeersink
Our preprint of nf-core/scnanoseq was released today: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Here, we provide an overview of the pipeline design, validation results and benchmarking.
We hope it serves as a valuable resource for others working with long-read single-cell transcriptomics.

Interested in single cell genomics but need help getting started? Check out the full agenda for our Single Cell Genomics Day on Friday 4/25. All talks will be live-streamed (no registration required) at satijalab.org/scgd25
We are happy to release v1.1.0 of nf-core/scnanoseq today. A key enhancement is the addition of the workflow path for Oxford Nanopore scRNA-seq with oarfish quantification.
Pipeline release! nf-core/scnanoseq v1.1.0 - nf-core/scnanoseq v1.1.0 - Iron Alligator!

Our Single Cell Genomics Day - highlighting our favorite new sc/spatial methods - starts Friday at 10AM ET!
The most common question we get: is this open to anyone? Yes! Talks are free and live-streamed (no registration required) on Youtube and satijalab.org/scgd
Had a great time hosting a @swcarpentry workshop, covering Python, Unix and Git the past two days.
We enjoyed teaching, learning and discussing all things data science with a great group of participants!
Hope to see you all next time!
Thank you to @lizworthey group for all the help!

Want to hear about the latest updates/new techniques in single cell and spatial genomics? Check out my lab's eighth annual Single Cell Genomics Day on March 29. Keynotes from @IdoAmitLab @JD_Buenrostro and Xiaowei Zhuang. Please RT/spread the word! satijalab.org/scgd
Our team is growing and thus we are #hiring. If you are interested in transcriptomics, single-cell/nuclei, and or spatial transcriptomics we encourage you to apply! Also, feel free to send us direct messages or emails with your resume and interest. Apply: uab.taleo.net/careersection/…
Great turnout for our R, Unix and Git @swcarpentry workshop. Thanks to U-BDS and @lizworthey team members for being certified instructors and our helpers!
Had a great time presenting on our @nf_core pipeline, scnanoseq at #rsgdream2023 . Join us at the #scnanoseq channel in the nf-core Slack group for additional discussions.

Did @10xGenomics just make newer versions of Cell Ranger open source? github.com/10XGenomics/cellr… (cc @sjackman, @luizirber). This is a huge win for open, transparent, and reproducible science if it’s the case!

We need to focus on Reproducible Biological Data Science. This is what we strive for @UAB_BDS.
Reproducibility trial: 246 biologists get different results from same data sets nature.com/articles/d41586-0… – at Birmingham, AL
Thanks @10xGenomics for the invite to discuss data analysis resources for 10X datasets. Slides can be seen here if helpful to anyone docs.google.com/presentation…
