Disclosure: I'm friends with several of these authors, and work at @10xGenomics, but I haven't been this excited about a new method for a long time. Really excited by all the possibilities that this method opens up

In addition to our preprint, we’ve released all code, data, and step-by-step protocols to get started immediately PERFF-seq. We think this will be readily adoptable, and we would be grateful for feedback! 16/n
