TITLE: "A lack of distinct cellular identities in scRNA-seq data: revisiting Waddington’s landscape." ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing is revolutionizing our understanding of development, differentiation and disease. Analysis of this data is often challenging, however, and tasks like clustering cells to uncover distinct cellular identities sometimes yields results that fail to align with existing biological knowledge. We analyzed […]

TITLE: "FastGxC: a statistical framework for mapping context-specific regulatory variants using bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data." ABSTRACT: Recent studies suggest that context-specific eQTLs underlie genetic risk factors for complex diseases. However, methods for identifying them are still nascent, limiting their comprehensive characterization and downstream interpretation of disease-associated variants. In this talk, I will introduce FastGxC, a method to efficiently and powerfully […]
