Subgroup G: Spatial and Temporal Analytical Tools for Cell Atlases

Saturday, December 8, 8:30 am-12:30 pm
Room:28B

Organizers: Richard Conroy, National Institutes of Health; Jonah Cool, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative; and Sean Hanlon, National Institutes of Health

The rapid emergence of technologies for multiplexed and high throughput molecular mapping and phenotypic analysis of cells is driving development of multiscale, multidimensional cell atlases. New tools and common coordinate systems that will be required to analyze and interpret these large datasets, and in particular to understand the role of spatial organization and temporal trajectories of the cells in a complex 3D tissue environment. In this session we will discuss emerging approaches and tools that provide robust, scalable, interoperable analysis of molecular and phenotypic information and are supporting community efforts to model cell-cell interactions, cell lineage and perturbations. There will be discussions with all speakers addressing challenges related to building interoperability between the datasets generated by different cell atlas initiatives.
