Center for Computational Biology Seminar: Dr. Cole Trapnell, University of Washington
Single-cell trajectory analysis is a powerful approach for studying gene regulatory changes during cell differentiation and other dynamic processes. Recently, we showed that individual cells can be ordered according to progress through differentiation by analyzing their transcriptomes with unsupervised algorithms. Previous studies by our group and others have been limited to linear trajectories...
