Real Age Prediction from the Transcriptome with RAPToR

RAPToR estimates real age from transcriptomes using time-series data, improving differential expression analysis by accounting for age-related variation.

Neuronal perception of the social environment intergenerationally controls germline development and generation time in C. elegans

The paper shows that neuronal perception of social pheromones in C. elegans affects germline development timing and generation time in offspring.

Single cell expression analysis uncouples transdifferentiation and reprogramming

The paper uses single cell transcriptomics to show that transdifferentiation and reprogramming can be uncoupled in pre-B cells based on their intrinsic plasticity.
