Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a rich resource of cellular heterogeneity, opening new avenues in the study of complex tissues. Tel Aviv University researchers introduce Cell Population Mapping (CPM), a deconvolution algorithm in which...

A widely used approach in transcriptome analysis is the alignment of short reads to a reference genome. However, owing to the deficiencies of specially designed analytical systems, short reads unmapped to the genome sequence are usually ignored, resulting in the ...

Several recent studies focus on the inference of developmental and response trajectories from single cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data. A number of computational methods, often referred to as...

Cellular lineage trees can be derived from single-cell RNA sequencing snapshots of differentiating cells. Currently, only datasets with simple topologies are available. To test and further develop tools for lineage tree reconstruction, we need test datasets with known complex topologies. ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can act as scaffolds that promote the interaction of proteins, RNA, and DNA. There is increasing evidence of sequence-specific interactions of lncRNAs with DNA via...

Exploring cellular responses to stimuli using extensive gene expression profiles has become a routine procedure performed on a daily basis. Raw and processed data from these studies are available on public databases but the opportunity to fully...

Researchers from Fondazione Bruno Kessler introduce the CDRP (Concatenated Diagnostic-Relapse Prognostic) architecture for multi-task deep learning that incorporates a clinical algorithm, e.g., a risk stratification schema to improve prognostic...

Age-associated deterioration of cellular physiology leads to pathological conditions. The ability to detect premature aging could provide a window for preventive therapies against age-related diseases. However, the techniques for determining cellular age are limited, as they rely on a limited ...

With the help of high-throughput NGS (next-generation sequencing) technologies, ancestral transcriptome reconstruction is helpful to understand the complexity of transcriptional regulatory systems that underlies the evolution of multiple cellular metazoans with sophisticated functions and distinctive.,,

Researchers from University of Lausanne have developed BgeeDB, a collection of functions to import into R re-annotated, quality-controlled and reprocessed expression data available in the Bgee database. This includes data from thousands of...
