Single-cell RNA-seq workflow

In this tutorial we walk through a typical single-cell RNA-seq analysis using Bioconductor packages. We will try to cover data from different protocols, but some of the EDA/QC steps will be focused on the 10X Genomics Chromium protocol. We start from the output of the Cell Ranger preprocessing software. This…

Erasure of Biologically Meaningful Signal by Unsupervised scRNAseq Batch-correction Methods

Abstract Single cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) batches range from technical-replicates to multi-tissue atlases, thus requiring robust batch-correction methods that operate effectively across this spectrum of between-batch similarity. Commonly employed benchmarks quantify removal of batch effects and preservation of within-batch variation, the preservation of biologically meaningful differences between batches has been under-researched….

Analysis of single cell RNASeq data

Today it is possible to obtain genome-wide transcriptome data from single cells using high-throughput sequencing (scRNASeq). The main advantage of scRNASeq is that the cellular resolution and the genome wide scope makes it possible to address issues that are intractable using other methods, e.g. bulk RNASeq or single-cell RT-qPCR. These…
