Single-cell Trajectory analysis using Monocle3 and Seurat | Step-by-step tutorial

A detailed walk-though of steps to perform trajectory analysis using Monocle3 + Seurat for single-cell RNA-Seq data. In this video I cover various aspects of trajectory analysis including what is trajectory analysis, when to perform this analysis, which trajectory inference method to choose and how to perform trajectory analysis. In addition, I go over workflow steps and talk about cell data set object which monocle3 requires and finally demonstrate this workflow step-by-step in R.
I hope you find the video informative. I look forward to your comments in the comments section!
