Welcome to the Single Cell and Spatial Genomics SIG Users Group

We will be posting information about upcoming users group events and other information here. For Single Cell Genomics SIG organized or cross-listed events, please visit this site.


Upcoming Events

Wednesday, Jan 10th, 2021 10am EST - 2 x 20min Presentations

Location and Speaker TBA


Goals of this Users Group:

  1. Discuss ongoing work using single cell methods with colleagues at NIH using similar techniques.
  2. Coordinate regular meetings to present work in a friendly environment to gain feedback and suggestions.
  3. Discuss hurdles that arise in the course of our research in topic-focused discussion sessions.

Meeting Formats

2 x 20min Presentations

  1. Data sharing session where two people using single cell for their research present their work
  2. Friendly environment to get feedback and suggestions

PI Level 50min Presentations

Discussion Sections

  1. Open format meeting to discuss a topic, technique, or recent paper(s)
  2. Moderator organized; participant led

Wednesday, December 18th, 2019 10-11am - Tutorial

Topic: “Seurat v3 Integration Walkthrough”
Slides now available here: Slides as .pptx
Rmarkdown now available here: Rmarkdown
Note for Stefan on Rmarkdown: “Still required are the datasets from 10X and a GTF human annotation file, which you can get from ENSEMBL. If you put data and annotation into subdirectories called “data” and ref of some local base directory and enter the name of your base directory into the R markdown, things should work.”

How do I get notified about upcoming events?

Join the Single Cell Genomics SIG listserv.

For joining the Single Cell Genomics SIG listserv:

  1. Go here: NIH Listerv Website
  2. You may need to set up an account – this is a different login process than your NIH ID, since it is accessible to non-NIH folks too.
  3. Login, search for “singlecellgenomics-l” and subscribe

This will allow you to subscribe to this listserv and you should be able to see some of the message archives on there as well.

Get Involved

If you would like to present or lead a discussion group, please contact one of us on the organizing team (you can find our email addresses on NIH global).
