Benchmarking Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Protocols for Cell Atlas Projects by Mereu et al.
AND
Systematic comparative analysis of single cell RNA-sequencing methods by Ding et al.
RNAseq is now a practical, high-throughput and economically viable approach to determine cell fate and state at single cell resolution. As consortia form to generate tissue/organ ‘atlases’, these preprints compare RNA sequencing techniques.
High-throughput mapping of mesoscale connectomes in individual mice by Huang et al.
Behavior can vary widely among individuals. A recent study developed a commanding technique to reconstruct whole-cortex connectomes using a single animal, with ensuing applications for measuring individual variability in neuronal wiring.
