Changing STAR Parameters in CellRanger

Cell Ranger is a tool that anyone familiar with single cell RNA-seq will know. I had never used it before, but decided to give it a try. However, it internally uses STAR for mapping, and there is a problem (that nobody else seems to mind) where you cannot pass STAR parameters as arguments. The official answer is to build it yourself, though they take no responsibility for it.

Trying Deep Learning-Based GO Term Annotation

Deep learning has achieved remarkable results in natural language processing. For predicting protein function through GO Term annotation from amino acid sequences, homology searches such as BLAST have traditionally been the dominant approach. Recently, several tools have begun performing function prediction using deep learning. In this post, we try out DeepGOPlus.
