OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
