In this insightful podcast episode, I have the privilege of interviewing Simone Picelli, the Head of the Single-Cell Genomics Platform at the Institute of Ophthalmology Basel. As we talked, we got into the specifics of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) full-length methods from the SMART-seq family.
Simone shared valuable insights into various methods within, including SMART-seq, SMART-seq 2, SMART-seq 3, FLASH-seq, FLASH-seq low-amplification, and FLASH-seq with UMI. We explored the unique features and applications of each method, highlighting their contributions to advancing single-cell genomics research. 
In addition, we also talked about other common methods and the bigger picture of single-cell sequencing technology, such as the problems it faces and its future.
Explore the fascinating world of SMART-seq methods with Simone Picelli - a must-listen episode. Tune in now and learn about the ideal way to study RNA isoforms.

The Single-Cell World Podcast is now available in video as well, but just on Apple Podcast and in our new YouTube channel  😉
Episode 14: Single-Cell Methods, an overview, needed an update since there is a fourth method that is being used to individualize cells when using single-cell sequencing technology.
Join me and listen to it, as well as other updates concerning the methods that are at the core of the single-cell sequencing technology.
Here I leave you a gift, related with this episode.Thank you for listening.Kind Regards,Cátia

Hello there!
The Spatial and Single-Cell Analysis Playbook was released last week. Front Line Genomics produced it. I was honored to be invited to take part in it.
In this episode, you can hear the questions that were asked (AI voice here) and my responses during this fantastic interview.
I hope you like it!

Hi there!
Would you like to know what quality control steps I think are essential before a spatial transcriptomics experiment? In my experience, these control steps can save you a lot of headaches.
Listen now, and tell me if you agree.
