In this talk, we discuss the paper "RNA velocity of single sells" by Gioele La Manno et.al., Nature, 2018. Abstract RNA abundance is a powerful indicator of the state of individual cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing can reveal RNA abundance with high quantitative accuracy, sensitivity and throughput. However, this approach captures only a static snapshot at …

In this talk, we discuss the paper "A universal description of stochastic oscillators", by Alberto Perez-Cervera et. al., PNAS, 2023. Abstract  Many systems in physics, chemistry, and biology exhibit oscillations with a pronounced random component. Such stochastic oscillations can emerge via different mechanisms, for example, linear dynamics of a stable focus with fluctuations, limit-cycle systems …

In this talk, we discuss the paper, "SMSSVD : Submatrix selection singular value decomposition", by Rasmus Henningsson and Magnus Fontes, Bioinformatics, 2019. Abstract Motivation High throughput biomedical measurements normally capture multiple overlaid biologically relevant signals and often also signals representing different types of technical artefacts like e.g. batch effects. Signal identification and decomposition are accordingly …
