Last week I followed up on the index-swapping issue after Illumina released their white paper and also covered what Ethan Linck at The Molecular Ecologist had posted about the Sinha et al BioRxiv paper. In that post I said I’d write a follow-up post about index design over the weekend – here it is! […]
Illumina released a white paper this week describing their efforts to understand the index-swapping issues with the ExAmp chemistry. This story has been covered many times and got lots of Tweets in the days since the BioRxiv paper from Stanford was uploaded. Megan Molteni at Wired wrote a lengthy […]
Confession: this post may not actually make your 10X Genomics experiments ten times cheaper…but implement Demuxlet in your workflow and with the right sort of experiment you might just get there! Single-cell RNA-Seq might just have got a whole lot cheaper, thanks to a method […]
This post: “Understanding your 10XGenomics cell ranger report” originally appeared on my labs group blog but I thought that people working with single-cell who are at AGBT might like to read it too. Understanding your @10Xgenomics cell ranger reports The 10X Genomics Cell Ranger analysis […]
In this post I describe an idea for using SNP fingerprinting for single-cell RNA-Seq to identify which sample each individual cell comes from in a multiplexed library prep. The reason for my thinking about this is that single-cell experiments are expensive. Although the cost-per-cell can […]
Breast cancer researchers publish a lot of papers, and a large number of those will include some genomics, variant identification, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, etc. Increasingly research is being carried out on patient derived material, but cell lines are still a vital part of much of the […]
The use of DNA methylation analysis by NGS has become a standard tool in many labs. In a project design discussion we had today somebody mentioned the use of a control for bisulfite conversion efficiency that I’d missed, as its such a simple one I […]
At the recent Wellcome Trust conference on Single Cell Genomics (Twitter #scgen16) there was a great talk (her slides are online) from Stephanie Hicks in the @irrizarry group (Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute). Stephanie was talking about the recent work she’s […]
