Our work looking at the effects of using autosomal assumptions for calling variation on X and Y. We used simulated data to compare to a ground truth. Tldr: Accurate ploidy is important for reducing false positives; appropriate alignment reduces false negatives.

Best practices for improving alignment and variant calling on human sex chromosomes
Sex chromosome complement is the largest karyotypic variation observed in humans. X and Y chromosomes were once a pair of homologous autosomes. Although chromosome X and Y differentiated from one anot...

America don't let up now. Preserve the NIH funding that lets us train the next generation of scientists and researchers! Carl Sagan would have said the same!

Excited to share our new work exploring strategies to overcome resistance to CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors. Using scRNA-seq, mouse models, and functional studies, our work points to SPP1 signaling in the TME as a critical component of this resistance.

Excited to share Ruqian has developed a package for this transcript based niche analysis. Check out the preprint and the package! This is a flexible approach and we're working on extending this for other spatial analyses!

It’s been hard lately to focus on doing my job as a postdoc, which is under daily threat at this point. But we are persisting. Out now: “Dissociating the incubation of appetitive and consummatory behavior in a model of oral cocaine self-administration”. Very thankful to all who helped get this done!
