Multipotent RAG1+ progenitors emerge directly from haemogenic endothelium in human pluripotent stem cell-derived haematopoietic organoids

Published in Nature Cell Biology, 2020

We provide evidence for a wave of human T-cell development that originates directly from haemogenic endothelium via a RAG1+ intermediate with multilineage potential.

A simple, scalable approach to building a cross-platform transcriptome atlas

Published in PLoS computational biology, 2020

We demonstrate that it is possible to combine a large number of different profiling experiments summarised from dozens of laboratories and representing hundreds of donors, to create an integrated molecular map of human tissue.

Integrative computational epigenomics to build data-driven gene regulation hypotheses

Published in GigaScience, 2020

In this review, we perform a critical analysis of methods with the explicit aim of harmonizing data, as opposed to case-specific integration.

A multi-modal data harmonisation approach for discovery of COVID-19 drug targets

Published in Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2021

We demonstrate with two independent case studies that our multi-modal data harmonisation pipeline easily generates a list of pertinent biological features for downstream analyses without using algorithms specifically tailored to the datasets.

A Survey of Current Resources to Study lncRNA-Protein Interactions

Published in non-coding RNA, 2021

We reviewed the current state of the art in lncRNA-protein interactions (LPI). We specifically surveyed recent computational methods and databases which researchers can exploit for LPI investigation.

A user-friendly multi-omics data harmonisation R pipeline

Published in f1000, 2021

We present our R multiomics pipeline as an easy to use and flexible pipeline that takes unrefined multi-omics data as input, sample information and user-specified parameters to generate a list of output plots and data tables for quality control and downstream analysis.
