When I began my research career nearly a decade ago, there were no female academics in the mining-engineering department at Central South University in Changsha, China. Only this year did the department appoint me as its first female professor. I welcome that change, but it shows that the expectations around who can pursue mining careers

CIGMA We developed CIGMA to unbiasedly quantify cell-type-shared and cell-type-specific eQTLs in scRNA-seq data. CIGMA avoids bias from eQTL detection power by using a linear mixed model, similar to the GREML model of complex trait heritability12. CIGMA models cell-type-specific pseudobulk data, which is computed by averaging across all cells in predefined cell types, one gene
The Malva platform Malva provides a unified interface to search millions of cells by any RNA sequence. Malva integrates five modular components that operate independently but communicate through a central orchestrator (Extended Data Fig. 1b). When a user submits a query via the public RESTful API—a gene symbol, DNA sequence, or natural language request such
