We’ve also released the mCanonicalTockySeq R package! 📦💻 It reconstructs temporally resolved developmental state spaces by integrating Tocky signalling history into scRNA-seq workflows. monotockylab.github.io/mCano…

Delighted to share our new bioRxiv preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… We present mCanonicalTockySeq, which uses the Nr4a3-Tocky system to anchor single-cell transcriptomes in experimental time, allowing resolution of time-dependent thymic development in both mice and humans.

Honoured that our T-cell immunotherapy research is featured in The Telegraph via Cancer Research UK. Using Tocky, we reveal the behaviour of therapy-responsive and anti-cancer T cells, aiming to further improve immunotherapy approaches to melanoma. telegraph.co.uk/science/canc…

🚀 New paper out! Our ConvNet + Grad-CAM approach decodes Fluorescent Timer (Tocky) data at single-cell resolution. Using Foxp3 Tocky, we reveal CNS2-controlled and developmental transcriptional dynamics. Built on 7 years of work with AI and CRISPR! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Bored of black-box UMAP and clustering in #Cytometry? GatingTree skips such methods, directly analyses high-dimensional data, builds reproducible tree paths across markers, and reveals group-specific effects. No dimensionality reduction, just interpretable gates. 🌳
