Cross-species comparisons

…clustering and annotation, followed by cross-species comparisons. The course examines duplication, gene loss, study design and how evolutionary relationships among genes affect proposed correspondences between cell populations. It also addresses limitations of using expression similarity as evidence for cell-type homology. The audience is postgraduate students and researchers with basic evolu

…transcriptomic and other omics data, cross-species comparisons, CRISPR-screen analysis, cell-communication and metabolic modelling, and reproducible analysis pipelines. The role works closely with experimental researchers and contributes visualisation, ma

…species-specific, preventing direct cross-species comparisons.Here we examine naturalistic fluctuations of attention across three species—mice, monkeys, and humans—completing the same highly immersive virtual reality (VR) foraging task (Fig.1A). This allows us to continuously track behavioural decisio

…fMRI, a method facilitating direct cross-species comparisons, we aimed to explore Resting State Networks (RSNs) in pigeons. Our study sought to discern detectable RSNs in the awake pigeon brain and assess their spatial distribution. Our

Between-subject brain variability in shape and function is a major challenge to the definition of accurate brain models [1, 2]. It also obscures the comparison between species. Recently, precision mapping has started to provide data to ground the definition of accurate brain models [3]. Yet technology has been missing to identify correspondences between brains. Leveraging Optimal Transport (OT) methods [5, 6], we derive an algorithm, denoted as unbalanced fused Gromov Wasserstein (UFGW), to compute whole-brain mappings between subjects with minimal anatomical priors, and provide a fast GPU-bas
