    title: "Case study"
    description: "These tutorials take you from raw scRNA sequencing reads to inferred trajectories to replicate a published analysis. The data is messy. The decisions are tough. The interpretation is meaningful. Come here to advance your single cell skills! Note that you get two options for inferring trajectories."
  - id: single-cell-CS-code
    title: "Case study: Reloaded"
    description: "These tutorials let you follow the same case study analysis of real, messy data but in a programming environment, hosted on Galaxy. So if you want more flexibility, but the same guided steps as the Case Study, you can skip the Case Study and start here instead. Alternatively, try these after completing the Case Study for an easier jump to a coding environment."
