Very excited to share our new preprint, UniTVelo (Unified Time RNA Velocity), to enhance the RNA velocity quantification and its applicability for directed trajectory inference. Here is a summary of the designs. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
UniTVelo: temporally unified RNA velocity reinforces single-cell trajectory inference

UniTVelo: temporally unified RNA velocity reinforces single-cell trajectory inference

The recent breakthrough of single-cell RNA velocity methods brings attractive promises to reveal directed trajectory on cell differentiation, states transition and response to perturbations. However,...
