New paper from Jennifer Westoby, Sjoberg Hererra, Ferguson-Smith & Martin Hemberg: benchmarking five isoform quantification packages for scRNA-seq data. In single cells, usually one or other isoform is expressed, not both genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…





Our new preprint is out! We ask what the main obstacles to studying alternative splicing using scRNA-seq are. Answer: Dropouts and a lack of knowledge about isoform choice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @pavel_arte Martin Hemberg @AnneWBG





Our new preprint on how gene expression and DNA methylation evolves in response to the loss of parental care in burying beetles is live. With @PSarkies, Jennifer Westoby and Rebecca Kilner!

How to Use t-SNE Effectively distill.pub/2016/misread-t… Every time I re-read this post I always puzzle over the utility of tSNE visualizations on PCA on scRNA-seq data eg 10x Genomics. Anyone have any compelling insight?
