    Before we can begin the next steps of the workflow, we need to make sure you have a good understanding of Principal Components Analysis (PCA). This method will be utilized in the scRNA-seq analysis workflow, and this foundation will help you better navigate those steps and interpretation of results.

  1. Submit your work:
  • Each lesson above contains exercises; please go through each of them.
  • Submit your answers to the exercises using this Google form(NEED LINK STILL) on the day before the next class.
