Have you ever wanted to take a peek at your knit markdown file without actually hitting knit… or wish you could make some final tweaks to your file in it’s visual form?

Trajectory inference methods

During my internship this past summer, I spent time surveying the many existing trajectory inference (TI) methods. TI methods leverage data from thousands of single cells to reconstruct lineage paths and infer the order of cells along developmental trajectories.

Analyzing single cell data: Seurat

As promised, this is part 2 of the analyzing single-cell data series. In this post I intend to discuss Seurat: an R toolkit designed for the exploration of single-cell expression data.

Project-oriented workflow

In this post I will talk briefly about the advantages of and tools for building project-oriented workflows. All this with the hope that I can convince you to never write another absolute file path again.

R + Python: The best of both worlds

‘R’ you ready for some Python?? Over the last few weeks I’ve been immersed in an internship where I’ve learned a TON about single cell genomics, trajectory inference methods, and Python.

Clustering: Gaussian Mixture Models

Lately, Machine Learning has become such a buzzword in the world of data science. As a biologist, it’s always seemed so daunting… come to find out, it’s really not all that scary!
