OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
BDI Seminar: Processing single cell RNA-Seq datasets with kallisto and BUStools
Single cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) provides a unique look into the function of tissue at the individual cell level. In this talk will show recent developments in kallisto for processing scRNA-Seq datasets and the newly developed BUS file format. The BUS format is intended as a technology-agnostic file format for intermediate results in scRNA-Seq, separating the problem of read processing and downstream analysis. BUS output can be generated efficiently using kallisto, and the results can be processed with BUSTools and technology specific notebooks written in high level languages.
This talk will cover the motivation, design, and generation of BUS format using kallisto as well as demonstrating the simplicity and speed of the downstream processing using Jupyter notebooks.
