Alex and Lorena journey through the real-life challenges of building interactive single cell spatial data visualizations for large projects.

Alex and Lorena discuss a large bulk RNA-seq project that yielded lasting changes to their group’s everyday bioinformatics practices via the creation of parameterized R Markdown code templates.

From puzzlingly low mapping rates to unexpected cloud costs caused by unoptimized compute jobs, Lorena and Alex highlight how essential clear communication and bioinformatics-aware experimental design are to any successful project.
