Spatially annotated SORT-seq

What happens if you combine SORT-seq and microscopy-based spatial annotation? A group of scientists made that high-tech merger happen, generating a single-cell dataset with high transcript counts and tissue-context information….

BioTuring single cell browser BBrowserX update

BBrowserX: BioTuring single-cell browser update

BioTuring has just released its latest software offering, the BioTuring BBrowserX. This Bioturing single-cell browser is designed to help researchers analyze and visualize large amounts of single-cell data quickly and easily. It’s now available for all Single Cell Discoveries clients.

Cell type identification or cell type annotation is one of the main goals of single-cell sequencing and single-cell transcriptomics. This image illustrates in vivid color the high resolution with which a scientist can examine individual cells.

How we tackle cell type annotation

One of the main challenges in single-cell data interpretation is annotating cell types. In this blog, we explain our process of collaborating with clients to analyze single-cell data and assign cell type identity labels.

How we identify a cell

Cell type identification is currently one of the leading applications of single-cell RNA sequencing experiments. How do we do it? In this blog, we zoom in on the nine-step process that takes you from raw sequencing data to assigning cell type labels.
