Just analysed 48 single nuclei samples with scprocess and went from fastq files to cell-type annotation in a couple of weeks!! Really recommend this pipeline developed by @willmacnair.bsky.social and team, thank you for making it public!! github.com/marusakod/sc...

Last week I successfully passed my viva 🎓! It was a pleasure to discuss the work with @aidarodrigo.bsky.social, @bayraktarlab.bsky.social and @willmacnair.bsky.social, and to celebrate with the lab @annawilliamslab.bsky.social (thanks for this amazing single-cell hat!)

New preprint! Our workflow for processing single cell and nuclei data, called 🎉 scprocess 🎉 We have been working on it for ~18 months now, over which time we have processed at least 2k samples with it, so it has had a decent amount of testing.
Cute logo for the package scprocess, showing a cartoon of 3 cells being unpacked from a box labelled with a barcode, and loaded onto a conveyor belt. The colour scheme is purple, dark blue and mustard.

Myelin sheaths in the central nervous system can withstand damage and dynamically remodel
Myelin damage is a hallmark of several neurological disorders, but how it occurs remains to be fully understood. In this study, we found that early damage in zebrafish and rodent demyelination models ...

Preprint alert: Using human microneurography protocols in PatchSeq experiments on pig DRGs we identify the molecular identity of human dermal CMi-fibers (sleeping nociceptors). We provide an integrated pig-human-more transcriptomic atlas and identify OSMR and SST as marker, backed by human expts.
