Building Single-Cell RNA-seq Atlases: Concepts and Best Practices

Thursday June 4 | 2:10pm - 3:40pm | Room 50

Learn how to design, build, and interpret robust single-cell atlases that drive discovery.

Single-cell RNA-seq technologies have revolutionized our ability to characterize cellular diversity across tissues, organs, and disease states.

This 90-minute workshop offers a clear and practical introduction to single-cell RNA-seq atlases—large-scale reference maps that aggregate/integrate data across multiple studies, iterative QC refinement, standardize metadata, and establish consistent definitions of cell types and states.

Participants will gain foundational knowledge of atlas concepts, learn best-practice approaches for constructing high-quality atlases, and explore how these resources support biological discovery and translational research.
