Delighted to share that our feature selection method for improving inference of cellular trajectories is out today in @NatureComms! Biggest thank you to @natstann @purvislab @WStallaert @JJMilnerLab + team 😊 Paper: rdcu.be/dCVZA . 🧵below.
Super excited to introduce DELVE (github.com/jranek/delve), an unsupervised feature selection method for improving inference of developmental or disease trajectories from noisy single-cell data: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 😊(1/8)

Congratulations @alecplot for winning a best poster award at data science day for work predicting CD8 T-cell fates with @JJMilnerLab :) Truthfully, this a picture from last week, but is the same poster. Great job Alec.
