Exercise 1

Given the information that we know from the metadata, what might be some questions that we want to answer using our data?

What are differences in gene expression between IFN-β treated and control conditions?
Does the treament condition induce changes in celltype populations?

What are some of the limitations of this dataset that we should keep in mind as we analyze it?

We do not have any replicates as the data has bot been demultiplexed, so we cannot make any conclusions about the generalizability of our findings with statistical confidence.

1. Given the information that we know from the metadata, what might be some questions that we want to answer using our data?

- What are differences in gene expression between IFN-β treated and control conditions?
- Does the treament condition induce changes in celltype populations?

2. What are some of the limitations of this dataset that we should keep in mind as we analyze it?

We do not have any replicates as the data has bot been demultiplexed, so we cannot make any conclusions about the generalizability of our findings with statistical confidence.
