CHOIR is now online @NatureGenet! CHOIR is a new clustering method for single-cell data that evaluates whether clusters represent statistically distinct cell populations. CHOIR scales to millions of cells and works with single-/multi-omic data of any type! https://t.co/EKg20yMygH

So happy to see the incredible work of @GalmozziAndrea @dylan_duerre and the entire Galmozzi lab finally out @NatMetabolism! I’m a proud colleague, partner and wife❤️! Congratulations! @UWMadison @uwsmph @uw_medicine
Excited to share that work from my PhD thesis is now available in @NatMetabolism! Here, we uncover a link between heme production, BCAA metabolism, and thermogenesis—implicating heme synthesis in #aging, #obesity, and #T2D. Link: https://t.co/NicGoM2jv9 A 🧵 (1/14)
