Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers great potential, and new experimental technologies and data analysis methods have been developed at rapid pace. However, these fast developments put high pressure on life scientists to keep up with the challenging demands of data analysis, and the need for training is enormous.

This GOBLET-ELIXIR workshop brought together scRNA-seq trainers to share experiences, challenges and best practices. The presentation videos are available in YouTube.
