I'm excited about this new #genomics #scRNA #rnaseq preprint from @ariel_hippen! It's a molecular biology deep dive into what happens when you dissociate and single-cell sequence a tissue with the goal of performing deconvolution of bulk tissue.
Some key bits: there are dissociation effects, RNA capture/depletion effects, and potentially some microfluidics effects with the #10X platform. Also, deconvolution algorithms are variably robust to these things.

How do cells orient their division within the epithelial plane?
We find that a sufficiently large tension at junctions is required for accurate in plane division.

Lineage tracing experiments are often compromised by the merging and fragmentation of clones. Together with @YitengDang we wrote a review summarising statistical strategies to detect and resolve such non-clonality. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcell.2022.1054476/full
