SCO / 004 · Single-cell biology

Single-Cell AI Explorer

Interactive exploration of annotated single-cell populations, UMAP coordinates and marker-gene results.

SCIENTIFIC PURPOSE

Helps computational biology teams inspect cell clusters, compare annotations and communicate cellular heterogeneity.

Who it helps

  • Single-cell researchers
  • Immunology teams
  • Cancer microenvironment researchers
  • Cell biology students

Supported inputs

  • Cell metadata with UMAP coordinates
  • Gene-expression table
  • Optional marker table

Useful outputs

  • Interactive UMAP
  • Cell-type distribution
  • Marker-gene views
  • Cluster-oriented exports

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

  • Does not replace expert cell-type annotation
  • Quality depends on upstream QC and integration
  • AI-assisted labels require biological validation

USEFUL QUESTIONS

Before using the output.

Does it run the complete scRNA-seq pipeline?

The demonstrated interface focuses on exploration of prepared coordinates, annotations and expression tables.

Can cell types be accepted automatically?

No. Automated suggestions must be reviewed using marker evidence and biological context.
