@JinXingGenome @premal_shah @NIGMS @RutgersSPH Thanks Jin!

[Wei Vivian Li @vivianstats]

I am super excited and honored to receive the R35 MIRA award, which will support our work on multi-scale analysis of single-cell transcriptomes. Thank you @NIGMS for this grant for early-stage investigators! Huge thanks to my mentors and colleagues at and outside of @RutgersSPH!

Feature selection benchmarking for scRNA-seq https://t.co/A7vqTGq9oh from @vivianstats #genomics #singlecell . Scry (R package: https://t.co/IxOQI86wIr ) did pretty well!

[Wei Vivian Li @vivianstats]

@rstudiotips @ChasingMicrobes @rstudio Is it possible to get such information with a function?

[Stefano Mangiola @steman_research]

Very happy to announce that #tidyseurat our second chapter of #tidyTranscriptomics is now public at Bioinformatics!

Our collaborative work with @BinTian_Lab has just been published in @GenomeBiology ! MAAPER works with both bulk and single-cell sequencing data, and paired or unpaired experimental designs. The R package is available at https://t.co/oHsEX7CDb4. Any feedback is welcome!

[Genome Biology @GenomeBiology]

MAAPER: model-based analysis of alternative polyadenylation using 3′ end-linked reads, from @vivianstats, @BinTian_lab &co. It can be applied to reads close to, but not spanning, the polyadenylation site, and works with both bulk and single-cell data https://t.co/wFdBZeWAbp
