How do >1600 transcription factors (TFs) bind across hundreds of cell types? Experimentally profiling every combination isn't practically doable. But relying on DNA motifs isn't a great alternative -- they lack both sensitivity and specificity. #Genomics #GeneRegulation 👇
Cell segmentation for spatial transcriptomics isn’t so easy, right? We thought so too. A wonderful group lead by @garybader.bsky.social and @rgottardo.bsky.social put together a perspectives piece on where things stand, the challenges, and what’s next. Check it out: arxiv.org/pdf/2606.09675

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...

This was a fun effort from our lab retreat (!) to recreate a "arms-length" benchmark (i.e., one that someone else created) using our Omnibenchmark framework. We all learned a lot in the process ..

I'm very excited to share our latest preprint! We introduce structure-based analysis of spatial omics data – an approach that focuses on multi-cellular anatomical structures rather than single cells. We also present sosta to facilitate this type of analysis: bioconductor.org/packages/sos...
