I study how regulatory states and tissue context define cell identity, using large-scale genomics data & bayesian modelling.
I study how regulatory states and tissue context define cell identity, with the aim to more comprehensively understand the development of the human cerebral cortex, and to investigate the re-use of regulatory programmes and transcription factor logic across human tissues. To this end, we are using large-scale genomics data & bayesian modelling – the work in done in collaboration with multiple groups across the institute.

Overview of the spatial mapping approach and the workflow which are enabled by cell2location. From left to right: Single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics profiles are generated from the same tissue (1). Cell2location takes reference cell type signatures derived from scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics data as input (2, 3). The model then decomposes spatially resolved multi-cell RNA counts matrices into the reference signatures, thereby establishing a spatial mapping of cell types (4).
Astrocyte layers in the mammalian cerebral cortex revealed by a single-cell in situ transcriptomic map. This work suggests that the identity of cortical astrocytes is a combination of 2 gene expression programmes: subtype and layer-specific.

Has anyone downloaded the Stereo-seq data? Does it really have to be reprocessed from reads or are there count matrixes for locations/cells? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867422003993?via%3Dihub
forget the cost of a genome, someone just tell me how many single cells I can sequence now
Hot take #2. As a child, I wasn’t indoctrinated into dualism, never found “I think therefore I am” more than a conceptual phrase. This makes it easier to see through meditation @wakingup that there is no seat from which you observe and direct experience.
