1/ You want beautiful volcano plots.
Striking heatmaps.
Big discoveries.
But before the analysis, comes one boring step you can't skip:
QC.
It’ll save your science. 🧵

This modeling framework incorporates a broad set of neuronal and glial modules. By focusing on modules with a direct edge to a trait, researchers identified candidate genes that may drive phenotypic changes.

Gene module-trait network analysis uncovers cell type specific systems and genes relevant to Alzheimer's Disease - Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is marked by the accumulation of pathology, neuronal loss, and gliosis and frequently accompanied by decline in cognition. Understanding brain cell interactions is key to iden...

We’re creating a massive, 3200-megapixel group photo…and it won’t be complete without YOU!
NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory’s LSST Camera — the largest camera in the world — began on-sky engineering tests this month. So let’s celebrate! 🔭🧪
