scverse Conference 2024

Robrecht Cannoodt

Robrecht, CTO at Data Intuitive (data-intuitive.com), is passionate about making single-cell analysis more accessible and reliable. As the lead developer of Viash, he's all about creating workflows that are easy to reproduce and reuse. He's also the lead developer of OpenProblems, a platform dedicated to establishing the best practices for single-cell analysis by rigorously testing different computational methods. These efforts drive the creation of new living best practices (sc-best-practices.org) and the development of modular single-cell workflows (openpipelines.bio).

Benchmarking Open Problems in Single Cell Analysis
Malte Luecken, Robrecht Cannoodt

The "Benchmarking Open Problems in Single Cell Analysis" workshop aims to address critical challenges in the field by fostering community engagement in the development of robust benchmarks. This 90-minute session will introduce participants to the core mission of the Open Problems in Single-Cell Analysis, followed by an interactive session where we will build a new benchmark from scratch. As part of this tutorial, participants not only learn about the technical aspects of setting up a benchmark within the Open Problems framework, but will also learn about essential best practices in benchmarking computational methods.

Polyglot programming for single-cell analysis
Louise Deconinck, Benjamin Rombaut, Robrecht Cannoodt

In order to use the best performing methods for each step of the single-cell analysis process, bioinformaticians need to use multiple ecosystems and programming languages. This is unfortunately not that straightforward. We will give an overview of the different levels of interoperability, and how it is possible to integrate them in a single workflow.
For package developers, making methods accessible is important. We will provide information on how to do this well on the package and method level.
