Tutorials

Clustering

For getting started, we recommend Scanpy’s reimplementation of Seurat’s [Satija15] clustering tutorial for 3K PBMCs from 10x Genomics, containing preprocessing, clustering and the identification of cell types via known marker genes.

For more possibilities on visualizing marker genes, see this plotting gallery.

Trajectory Inference

We offer several examples for trajectory inference on complex datasets. Get started with the Paul PAGA example for the following result on hematopoiesis:

You can extend this to multi-resolution analyses of whole animals, such as the Planaria PAGA example:

The PAGA method behind this is described in [Wolf19]. As a reference for simple pseudotime analyses, we provide the diffusion pseudotime analyses of [Haghverdi16] for two hematopoiesis datasets: The Paul DPT example [Paul15] and the Moignard DPT example [Moignard15].
