Abstract Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can be used to gain insights into cellular heterogeneity within complex tissues. However, various technical artifacts present in scRNA-seq data and should assessed before performing downstream analyses. While several tools have been developed perform individual quality control (QC) tasks, they are scattered different packages across programming environments. Here, streamline the process of generating visualizing QC metrics for data, we built...
Many datasets are being produced by consortia that seek to characterize healthy and disease tissues at single-cell resolution. While biospecimen experimental information is often captured, detailed metadata standards related data matrices analysis workflows currently lacking. To address this, we develop the matrix (MAMS) serve as a resource for centers, repositories, tool developers. We define fields parameters commonly utilized in analytical developed rmams package extract MAMS from...
Abstract Summary Cells differentiate to their final fates along unique trajectories, often involving multi-potent progenitors that can produce multiple terminally differentiated cell types. Recent developments in single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic measurement provide tremendous opportunities for mapping these trajectories. The visualization of data relies on dimension reduction methods such as UMAP simplify high-dimensional down an understandable two-dimensional (2D) form. However,...

Abstract Repetitive head impacts (RHI) sustained from contact sports are the largest risk factor for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Currently, CTE can only be diagnosed after death and multicellular cascade of events that trigger initial hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) deposition remain unclear. Further, symptoms endorsed by young individuals with early disease not fully explained extent p-tau deposition, severely hampering development therapeutic interventions. Here, we show RHI...
The identification of gene regulatory networks (GRN) governing distinct cell fates in multilineage cellular differentiation systems is critical importance for understanding fate decision. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides a powerful tool the quantification gene-level co-variation across state manifold. However, accurate GRN reconstruction hampered by sparsity scRNA-seq data introducing substantial technical noise. Moreover, high dimensionality typical datasets limits...
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease severity are influenced by viral entry (VE) gene expression patterns in the airway epithelium. The similarities differences of VE (ACE2, TMPRSS2, CTSL) across nasal bronchial compartments have not been fully characterized using matched samples from large cohorts. Gene data 793 1673 brushes obtained individuals participating lung cancer screening or diagnostic workup revealed that smoking status (current versus former) was only clinical factor...
A large number of genomic and imaging datasets are being produced by consortia that seek to characterize healthy disease tissues at single-cell resolution.

Detailed schema needed facilitate sharing interoperability across groups promote provenance for reproducibility. To address this need, we developed...
Recent work has shown the promise of cold flow technology for transporting waxy crude oils below their wax appearance temperatures. The thermal flux that results due to difference between temperature transported oil and ambient is minimized in implementation flow, thus significantly lowering deposition on pipeline walls. Restarting pipelines carrying under conditions an important consideration. In previous from our laboratory, we have gelled restart pressures water-free systems are lower...
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based gene targeting method, which can delete a specific or introduce tags, has been widely utilized to study function in fission yeast. One of the critical steps this method is design primers for amplifying DNA fragments deletion tagging modules and checking integration those at designated loci.

Abstract The identification of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is crucial for understanding cellular differentiation. Single-cell RNA sequencing data encode gene-level covariations at high resolution, yet sparsity and dimensionality hamper accurate scalable GRN reconstruction.
