+RNA velocity in single cells [Manno18]_:

+- Scanpy and AnnData suport loom's layers so that computations for single-cell RNA velocity [Manno18]_ become feasible :smaller:`thanks to S Rybakov and V Bergen`
+- the package `scvelo <https://github.com/theislab/scvelo>`__ perfectly harmonizes with Scanpy and is able to process loom files with splicing information produced by Velocyto [Manno18]_, it runs a lot faster than the count matrix analysis of Velocyto and provides several conceptual developments (preprint to come)
