In 2019 "Single-cell multimodal omics" was deemed @naturemethods Method of the Year, and since then many new multimodal methods have been published. But are there tradeoffs w/ multimodal omics?

tl;dr yes! An analysis w/ @sinabooeshaghi & Fan Gao in biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵1/
There are a lot of ways to look at this question and we have much to say (long 🧵ahead!). As a starting point let's begin with our Supplementary Figure 4. This is a comparison of (#snRNAseq+#snATACseq) multimodal technology with unimodal technology. Much to explain here: 2/ Image
(a) & (b) are showing the mean-variance relationship for data from an assay for measuring RNA and TAC (transposable accessible chromatin) in the same cells. The data is from ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.…

In a new preprint w/@kreldjarn, @DelaneyKSull, @GuillaumOleSan & @pmelsted we address a shortcoming in current approaches to quantifying single-nucleus RNA-seq: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
tl;dr care has to be taken in quantifying nascent vs. mature transcripts. #snRNAseq #scRNAseq🧵
First, note that single-cell RNA-seq data provides some quantification not only of processed (mature) messenger RNAs, but also of nascent molecules. That observation by @GioeleLaManno, @slinnarsson and colleagues underlies RNA velocity. But what about single-nucleus RNA-seq? 2/
Similarly to #scRNAseq, #snRNAseq data has reads derived from both nascent and mature transcripts. However, perhaps due to intuition that #snRNAseq is all nascent, current approach to quantification yield a single count matrix based on all reads mapping to every gene locus. 3/

It’s comics time again! Glad to see our manuscript out in @NatureComms where we describe neuronal subtypes affected in temporal lobe #epilepsy and reveal a neuronal subtype-specific molecular phenotype.

Here's a brief explanation of our findings 1/10 Image
We used the surgically excised temporal lobe (TL) cortex from 9 individuals with epilepsy and compared against 10 non-epileptic controls. MRI of the TL showed epilepsy-associated abnormalities.
We processed >110,000 cells from these samples for #snRNAseq 2/10 Image
We found that the largest transcriptomic changes occur in distinct neuronal subtypes from several families of principal neurons (L5-6_Fezf2 and L2-3_Cux2) and GABAergic interneurons (Sst and Pvalb), whereas other subtypes in the same families were less affected
