This fantastic new Review discusses the prostate as a sexual organ & how treatment for prostate cancer can affect quality of life in people from sexual and gender minorities, especially those who engage in receptive anal intercourse. Read it here: rdcu.be/dcTvf

Goodbye Leslie 😭
Leslie Jordan died on Monday at 67. The comic actor, who was known for roles on numerous television shows, most notably "Will and Grace," became an Instagram star during the pandemic. nyti.ms/3VUJClz

I am often asked by scientists across fields for advice & resources on how to get started with #scRNAseq analyses I summarize here such an analysis into a flowchart with 9 core steps. Analyzing your own scRNAseq data today is more accessible than ever And it gets even easier🧵

If you like UCell and scGate #RStats packages for #scRNA-seq analysis, you might find useful ProjecTILs, now easier to use: Mode 1: just for label transfer, faster, doesn't alter your dimensionality reduction ProjecTILs.classifier(query = query_object, ref = reference_map)

Our MultiVelo paper for inferring velocity from scRNA+ATAC paper is now out in @NatureBiotech: rdcu.be/cXuUu Key changes since preprint: deriving a stochastic model and adding a hematopoiesis timepoint.
We extended the RNA velocity model to incorporate epigenome data from single-cell multi-omic protocols like 10X Multiome. Key results: more accurate velocity estimation than RNA alone; inference of RNA/epigenome decoupling; and quantification of time lags. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Y’all I can’t overstate how big a victory we just won in Ohio for trans people was. We got a boardroom full of Republican school officials to vote AGAINST moms for Liberty anti trans policies. The activists speeches objectively swayed things. The anti-trans group was stunned.
