Biology-inspired data-driven quality control for scientific discovery in single-cell transcriptomics

Quality control (QC) of cells, a critical first step in single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis, has largely relied on arbitrarily fixed data-agnostic thresholds applied to QC …

Unannotated proteins expand the MHC-I-restricted immunopeptidome in cancer

Tumor-associated epitopes presented on MHC-I that can activate the immune system against cancer cells are typically identified from annotated protein-coding regions of the genome, …

Blood and immune development in human fetal bone marrow and Down syndrome

Haematopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM) maintains blood and immune cell production throughout postnatal life. Haematopoiesis first emerges in human BM at 11–12 weeks after …

The Known Unknowns of the Immune Response to Coccidioides

Coccidioidomycosis, otherwise known as Valley Fever, is caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii. While most clinical cases present with self-limiting …

COVID-19 tissue atlases reveal SARS-CoV-2 pathology and cellular targets

COVID-19, which is caused by SARS-CoV-2, can result in acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure, but little is known about its pathophysiology. Here we …

Inherited myeloproliferative neoplasm risk affects haematopoietic stem cells

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are blood cancers that are characterized by the excessive production of mature myeloid cells and arise from the acquisition of somatic driver …

Cumulus provides cloud-based data analysis for large-scale single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq

Massively parallel single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq (sc/snRNA-seq) have opened the way to systematic tissue atlases in health and disease, but as the scale of data generation …

A Single-Cell and Single-Nucleus RNA-Seq Toolbox for Fresh and Frozen Human Tumors

Single-cell genomics is essential to chart tumor ecosystems. Although single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) profiles RNA from cells dissociated from fresh tumors, single-nucleus RNA-Seq …

Linking Indirect Effects of Cytomegalovirus in Transplantation to Modulation of Monocyte Innate Immune Function

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the immunocompromised host. In transplant recipients, a variety of clinically important “indirect effects” …

Integrated scRNA-Seq Identifies Human Postnatal Thymus Seeding Progenitors and Regulatory Dynamics of Differentiating Immature Thymocytes

During postnatal life, thymopoiesis depends on the continuous colonization of the thymus by bone-marrow-derived hematopoietic progenitors that migrate through the bloodstream. The …
