We, computational scientists, are developing new statistical methods for the analysis of single-cell data. The application of these methods to COVID-19 data has revealed novel findings in terms of its biology, which would also impact its treatment. We are gearing towards the submission of these findings. Could you let us know regarding the policy of publication manuscripts that leverage COVID19 cell atlas data? We will be happy to accommodate researchers who had generated the data as co-authors in the manuscript as deemed necessary.
