A new computational method allows key developmental checkpoints and important parameters of population dynamics to be inferred from single-cell RNA-sequencing time series data.
Palantir uses single-cell RNA-seq data to generate continuous models of differentiation, infer developmental trajectories, and calculate the probabilities of cell fate choices.
A sensitive method to analyze metagenomes, CATCH, enables detection and characterization of diverse viral sequences, including the 356 viruses known to infect humans.
