New paper alert! The @Knoblich_Lab partnered with researchers at the @humantechnopole and @unimib to develop new brain organoids with distinct cortical areas and front-to-back patterning and study human-specific brain development and disorders. Read more: bit.ly/3ZK5wMX

I m happy to present our latest preprint, and the main work of my PhD-project: "GTestimate: Improving relative gene expression estimation in scRNA-seq using the Good-Turing estimator" In this manuscript we introduce a new normalization method for scRNA-seq data.

We are very happy to share our preprint (D. Lindenhofer et al.) of a high-throughput targeted scDNA-scRNA-seq (SDR-seq) method. Impactful for any application with a need to associate coding and non-coding variants to gene expression in tissue samples and cell culture systems.

We are thrilled to share our latest work, a collaborative effort with @TreutleinLab, in Nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…). We introduce CHOOSE, a powerful screening system within cerebral organoids, through which we identified developmental defects associated with autism. 🧵1/7
