My odyssey of obtaining scRNAseq metadata | DNA confesses Data speak (divingintogeneticsandgenomics.rbind.io)
[...] That’s how much it takes to get the sample level metadata from a public dataset. It is hard to fully automate and one has to go to GEO and supplementary tables, and wrangle the data to a desired format. If you ask me, I will tell you this is the real-life bioinformatics.

How to read PCA plots — What do you mean "heterogeneity"? (www.nxn.se)
I have noticed some general patterns across datasets and studies. These I have seen either in papers or presentations or by analyzing our own or public data. Sketches of these patterns are shown on the right. I thought it would be useful to list out potential causes for these patterns. I'll do this here by simulating data to generate them.

Gene Name Error Monthly Dashboard (ziemann-lab.net)
Gene name errors result when data are imported improperly into MS Excel and other spreadsheet programs (Zeeberg et al, 2004). Certain gene names like MARCH3, SEPT2 and DEC1 are converted into date format. These errors are surprisingly common in supplementary data files in the field of genomics (Ziemann et al, 2016). This could be considered a small error because it only affects a small number of genes, however it is symptomtic of poor data processing methods. The purpose of this script is to identify gene name errors present in supplementary files of PubMed Central articles in the previous month

ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com)
Even when authors indicate in their manuscript that they will share data upon request, the compliance rate is the same as for authors who do not provide DAS, suggesting that DAS may not be sufficient to ensure data sharing.
