Mission

We are writing a book on the current single-cell analysis best-practices with extensive tutorials and code examples.

Contributing

We would like to invite the community to further improve the tutorial and the teaching material. Please read contributing for further instructions.

In case of questions or problems, please get in touch by posting an issue in this repository.

Adapting the notebooks to other datasets:

All notebooks for the various steps can be found in the jupyter book folder together with minimal Conda environments. Alternatively, the notebooks can be downloaded directly from the rendered version.

Acknowledgements

This tutorial would not be possible without the input of all Theislab members and the countless benchmarks and reviews of various single-cell tools by the community.
