can you determine the best resolution for scRNAseq clustering?


Hello Bioinformatics lovers,

First of all, some encouragement. I found this old tweet from me 11 years ago.

This is my audacious goal now: Ming Tommy Tang: On A Mission To Teach 1M People Bioinformatics

The short answer is: yes, it is possible. You can achieve much more than you think you can!

When I started learning 12 years ago, I had little clue. Now at least you have me. I am here to help!

Let's dive into today's newsletter:)

One of the core questions in scRNAseq is to choose the right resolution to get the right number of clusters. There are statistical methods trying to address this problem. How do they perform?
