episode 212: Episode 212 -- Timothy J. Petros PhD
Thursday, February 20, 2020
Tim Petros (NICHD/NIH) talks about new single cell RNA and epigenetic approaches to understanding the intrinsic programs that determine interneuron diversity. The group discusses how to determine causation vs correlation in identifying candidate mechanisms that regulate interneuron fate decisions, and how historic concepts of cell type (based on morphology, connectivity, physiology, etc) map onto transcriptomic data clustering.
