How can you enable data integration in #OpenScience? Cyril Pommier UR Genomics-Info gives a great overview of the challenges for phenotype and genotype data in plants 🌱 and how to overcome them at #ABLS22.👏

It is all about the enhancers! Great talk from @steinaerts VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research on #singlecell gene regulatory inference to end #ABLS22. Impressive work on the fly atlas! Cannot wait to try out SCENIC+ myself! 🎆

Excited to share our integrated Human Lung Cell Atlas - combining 46 datasets of the human respiratory system, we map >2.2m cells from 444 individuals across health&disease. Led by Lisa Sikkema, with Martijn Nawijn Alexander Misharin Malte Luecken & many others, thx! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Katrien Quintelier for winning the poster award at #ABLS22!

That's it! My final tweet as conference reporter of #ABLS22. Special thanks to my fellow reporter Ruth Seurinck, we did it! 🥳💪

Couldn't have done without you Annelies Emmaneel !

Thank you @VIBConferences and #ABLS22 organizers! Happy to have shared our SaeysLab cytometry ecosystem. Team effort of Sofie Van Gassen, Annelies Emmaneel, @ArtuurCouckuyt, David Novak and @SarahBnte 💪🏼

Impressive time courses from Eileen Furlong at #KSsinglecell

When the bioinformatician wants to gain wet lab experience

Great opportunity to learn how to analyse and interpret cells in their spatial/tissue context. Organised and presented by authors and developers of key methods/packages in the field - honoured to have cell2location on the list.

Single Cell Omics Germany (SCOG) Giovanni Palla @AnnaCSchaar Alma Andersson Vitalii Kleshchevnikov, PhD Systems Immunology Lab Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich Wellcome Sanger Institute KTH Royal Institute of Technology Universität München Want to learn how to work with some common tools for spatial omics analysis? Join our workshop with great hands-ons from Alma Andersson Joakim Lundeberg Lundeberg lab, Vitalii Kleshchevnikov, PhD Omer Ali Bayraktar / Oliver Stegle lab and @AnnaCSchaar & Giovanni Palla from us. Fun 🤩

Full-house for the first #Sing22 event organized by ⁦@celine_everaert⁩ ⁦Ruth Seurinck⁩. Fantastic networking initiative to bring together single-cell experts of⁩ ⁦UZ Gent⁩ ⁦UGent⁩ ⁦IRC - VIB/UGent⁩ from wetlab to bio-informatics pipelines 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Self-assessment can be repetitive - or maybe not? 🤔 This caught my attention in recent spatial omics literature (but apparently not the authors'?)... "More of a comment than a question" that we need benchmarks.

Ever wondered what the equivalent of differential gene expression is for cell-cell communication ? Look no further...it's MultiNicheNet, the first statistically sound framework for multi-sample multi-condition comparison of intercellular communication 👉doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

How can we improve trustworthiness of cell type classifiers ? Well, for example by combining uncertainty quantification with hierarchical models with a reject option. Read all about it in Lauren Theunissen's first paper at academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… #AIFlanders

After four years of user feedback and experience, our NicheNet best practices guideline is now available on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2404.16358 Also check out our revamped GitHub repository that incorporates these changes: github.com/saeyslab/niche… (1/2)

Our popular cell clustering algorithm FlowSOM is now also available in Python, and offers integration with other single-cell tools using AnnData. Ready for use on your spatial omics data as well 😀
