I Built a Single-Cell RNA-seq Pipeline That Writes Its Own Report

Single-cell RNA sequencing is one of those techniques that generates a huge amount of data and then demands a huge amount of effort to interpret it. You run the sequencer, get a matrix of 20,000 genes by several thousand cells, and then spend the next several days (or weeks) figuring out what's in there. I wanted to change that, at least for the specific problem I keep coming back to: understanding the immune landscape inside solid tumours. The result is TIL-Scope […]
