We are proud to announce that a new training, explaining the analysis of single cell ATAC-seq data with SnapATAC2 and Scanpy, is now available in the Galaxy Training Network.

SnapATAC2 pipeline. — **Figure 1**: SnapATAC2 standard processing pipeline. The single cell data is first preprocessed and a high-quality count matrix is produced. Next, the dimensionality of the data is reduced and clusters visualized. Finally, clusters are manually annotated with marker genes.

The tutorial consists of three sections: Preprocessing, Dimensionality Reduction and Clustering, and Cluster Annotation. During the preprocessing, cell-by-feature count matrices are created, which are filtered to produce high-quality AnnData count matrices. After that, the dimensionality of the data is reduced through nonlinear spectral embedding. The data is then projected onto two-dimensional space and clusters are identified. To annotate the clusters, the gene activity for each cell is measured and the activity of marker genes is visualized with the Scanpy package. The activity profile of each cluster is then used to determine the correct cell type.

4th Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex NGS made easy

8 July 2024 NGS Tuberculosis Drug-resistance transmission evolution one-health

Tuberculosis (TB) is a big killer in many countries of the world, particularly in those with low and middle income. Next-generation sequencing has been key in improving our understanding of drug resistance acquisition and of transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Yet, the need for expertise guiding NGS implementation in laboratories and the lack of bioinformatic expertise, are main obstacles hindering the implementation of NGS into TB programs.
