Introducing Demuxafy: Improvement in droplet assignment by integrating multiple single-cell demultiplexing and doublet detection methods. Work led by Drew Neavin as part of the sceQTL-gen consortium biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ single-cell RNAseq data matrix is sparse. dominant 0s makes gene-gene correlation calculation hard. Tools that I know to tackle this problem #scRNAseq : bioconductor.org/packages/relea…

Have you ever wondered which demultiplexing and doublet detection methods to apply to your single-0cell dataset? Wait no more! We've developed Demuxafy, an easy-to-use software platform to support method selection and execution for single-cell demultiplexing and doublet removal.

✨✨ PACKAGE UPDATE ✨✨ MetBrewer 0.2.0 is officially out 🥳 Available both on Cran and through my GitHub here: bit.ly/34Vvt1M New Palettes are out and some amazing new features. Full description of what has changed below :) #MetBrewer #rstats #r4ds #dataviz

This is the way..

Our work “Single-cell eQTL mapping identifies cell type-specific genetic control of autoimmune disease” just published in Science Magazine. The work started with the creation of the OneK1K cohort, consisting of scRNA-seq data on PBMCs from ~1000 donors science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧵

Excited to share our work on single cell eQTL mapping of OneK1K Cohort (1000 individuals 1000 cells) that’s just published in Science Magazine. Thanks to our amazing team José Alquicira Hernández, @WingKristof, Kirsten Fairfax, Gracie Gordon, Jimmie Ye, Alex Hewitt and Joseph Powell!

Many intercellular communication systems (BMP, Notch, Wnt, FGF, etc) use sets of promiscuously interacting ligand and receptor variants rather than seemingly simpler one-to-one architectures. Why? Our 2 papers grappling w/this question just out in Cell Systems
