PRESS RELEASE
UTRECHT, January 19, 2022 – Single Cell Discoveries and BioTuring announce a collaboration to improve single-cell sequencing research. As part of the collaboration, Single Cell Discoveries will add BioTuring’s single-cell data analysis solution to its single-cell sequencing services. The collaboration aims to close the gap between single-cell sequencing wet-lab services and single-cell data analysis solutions. Starting today, all Single Cell Discoveries’ clients will get free access to BBrowser, a platform for single-cell multi-omics analysis developed by BioTuring.
Single-cell RNA sequencing allows researchers to study the RNA transcriptome of individual cells to find details that are often overlooked with standard RNA sequencing assays. It is applied in many research areas such as oncology, immunology, and neuroscience and has already led to significant scientific breakthroughs. The single-cell field is growing exponentially, with the number of publications linked to single-cell sequencing doubling on average every year for the past ten years.
The analysis of single-cell sequencing can be a challenge. It requires significant knowledge of bioinformatics, which most researchers do not master at the required level. Single Cell Discoveries already provides all clients with a preliminary data analysis and the option to outsource the complete data analysis. However, most researchers still prefer to analyze the data themselves. BBrowser is the perfect solution for this challenge, as it provides researchers with the option to analyze their data without the need to learn code.
“Data analysis is one of the most challenging aspects of a single-cell sequencing project. As BioTuring is at the forefront of making single-cell data accessible, we are very happy with this collaboration. As of now, it will be even easier for our clients to visualize their data in an intuitive manner. The collaboration fits our commitment on providing a complete, end-to-end service to our clients that includes data interpretation.”
Mauro Muraro, CEO, Single Cell Discoveries
