Margo Emont wins Best Poster at the 2021 Broad Institute Retreat in the Genetics and Disease Biology category. The poster presented her recent efforts to create an atlas of cell types in both human and mouse white adipose tissue using single cell and single nucleus RNA sequencing. In addition to presenting a comprehensive dataset of all cell types within the adipose tissue, she specifically focused on the subtypes of adipocytes identified in this study and predict adipocyte subtype functions using gene expression data and correspondence to human phenotype. The open access to the paper with the data she presented can be found here (https://rdcu.be/cJXHi). Congratulations Margo!
