00:00:00 - 00:03:22 - Breakout Session: How will the atlas be used? introduction (Patricia Severino, Graham Heimberg)
00:03:22 - 01:01:20 - Group discussion
Session summary:
The group explored the challenges involved in integrating various networks (including metadata and managing batch effects), as well as the incorporation of novel tools and modalities for HCA V1 and beyond (they created a short ‘tools wishlist’). Additionally, the group delved into the potential applications of HCA in medicine and treatment, highlighting important factors that should be taken into consideration in those contexts. Breakout participants acknowledged and shared a common understanding of the vital role that efficient communication plays in different stages of the process among researchers, and suggested sharing learnings and challenges in an open online forum.
