I donated some of my tissue this weekend and it was a great experience. It was easy, painless, & just great spending time with all the kind and lovely volunteers. We can't do research without the participation folks as donors & volunteers. I'm grateful to be a part of this.

Antimicrobial resistance is a major #GlobalHealth concern. New tech will be key to helping researchers detect + track AMR genes.

Check out the new AMR module on CZ ID that makes data analysis easier, faster & more seamless https://t.co/6g1yMixjea

[Jonah Cool @JCoolScience]

Access to concatenated data on #CZCellxGene Discover is important for advancing biomedical research. With the Census, researchers are able to apply machine learning on single-cell gene expression at an unprecedented scale for new discoveries.

2/2 To explore marker genes for your cell type of interest with #CZCellxGene, simply select the tissue and cell type, then see relevant marker genes to add into a dot plot.

This is currently in beta phase, feedback is always encouraged: https://t.co/DXbT8CROBZ

[Jonah Cool @JCoolScience]

The @cziscience team is excited to launch our new Gene Expression feature on #CZCellxGene! It helps researchers identify marker genes using RNA expression data across 31M+ cells:
