Single-cell RNA-seq introduction course

This course covers the basics of single-cell RNA-seq analysis. This material was meant to be continuously improved by the students from the Dalmolin Systems Biology Group.

This book is based on the following references:

• The experimental design of single-cell studies: Tutorial: guidelines for the experimental design of single-cell RNA sequencing studies
• Orchestrating Single-Cell Analysis with Bioconductor - Basics;
• Single-cell best practices
• Seurat cheatsheet
• Introduction to single-cell from Wellcome Connecting Science
• SingleR
• This awesome playlist on YouTube (in python): link
