Sophia’s Work on EMT Two Path Published in Communication Biology
Single cell snapshot analyses under proper representation reveal that epithelial-mesenchymal transition couples at G1 and G2/M Check the full text on LINK Most approaches first require projecting high-dimensional data onto a low-dimensional representation; however, this can distort the dynamics of the system. Consider a swarm of ants crawling along the surface of an intact soda […]

GraphVelo Published in Nature Communications
Our graphvelo paper just appeared online (Link) This work is a continuation of our efforts to place single-cell data analyses under rigorous mathematical and theoretical physics foundations, which I stress to be important. It shows how one infers velocities from a subset of genes with reliable velocity estimation based on that the data points form […]
