We wanted to build a tool like that for cell biology. So we took lots of reference single-cell RNA sequencing data from atlases and used our scalable machine learning algorithms to embed all of the gene expression data on these cells into compact vector representations — you can think of these as a signature for each cell.

Our approach to investigate the toxicity driven by nucleolar stress was to induce it with certain arginine-rich peptides, present in patients of ALS, which were known to accumulate at nucleoli and cause this type of stress. However, our study was first to show that inducing nucleolar stress in an adult mammal accelerates aging.

Read A new DNA polymerase variant, called RT-KTq I614Y, can directly detect RNA modifications, including pseudouridine (Ψ) and queuosine (Q). By combining this new variant with standard sequencing methods, it’s possible to identify RNA modifications in a really simple way. Communications Biology. Cell Systems.
