Hallmarks and Regulatory Coordination Points in Human Development Revealed by Single-Cell Trajectory Detection

12:00pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

Webinar of the Fluidigm Corp. Registration link below.

Guest speaker:
Sean Bendell
Stanford University

Abstract:
Tissue regeneration, an orchestrated progression of cells from an immature to a mature state, is conventionally represented as a series of distinctive cell subsets. Yet a continuum of transitional cell states exists between these discrete stages. We use the deep phenotyping of single-cell mass cytometry to leverage this continuum by aligning cells of a given lineage in a unified trajectory that accurately predicts the...
