New episode of the STACCATO PhD Students Podcast!

The STACCATO Podcast is slowly but surely kicking into gear. Every week, STACCATO PhD students provide exciting insights into their research as they share their experiences of working on the […]

Identifying differentially expressed genes by scRNA-seq

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) comprises a state-of-the-art technology for analysing the gene expression profile of individual cells from a complex or even a uniform specimen. Differential gene expression analysis and […]

UMAP

Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimensionality reduction technique to construct graphs showing the complexity of specimens and how the cell clusters diverse between each other according to […]

Next generation sequencing basics – RNA

RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is a technique that utilises next-generation sequencing to investigate gene expression in cells by quantifying the presence and amount of RNA reads within a sample. This allows scientist […]

Experimental design for single cell analysis

It is challenging to create generalizable designs for single-cell transcriptomic experiments because each one requires the user to make informed decisions in order to obtain interpretable results. These include the […]
