Zooming in the intratumoral heterogeneity of liver cancer with BBrowser single cell database

intratumoral heterogeneity - liver cancer cell composition

Introduction Why are tumors so resilient against available cancer therapies? One answer lies in intratumoral heterogeneity. Intratumoral heterogeneity describes the diversity in tumor cell populations. Cancer cells exhibit startling distinctions in their types, shape, metabolic activities, transcriptomic profiles, and more. The causes of intratumoral heterogeneity are both heritable (clonal expansion […]

BioTuring Big Data Portal: Exploring huge public single-cell data sets without limits

Single Cell Analysis

Single-cell data sets are exploding in size. From a few thousand cells, we now see more than 1 million data points being generated (Cao et. al., 2019). Large single-cell atlases are valuable resources for exploration and insights, but also pose a great challenge to anyone who wants to view and […]

A new tool to interactively visualize single-cell objects (Seurat, Scanpy, SingleCellExperiments, …)

Single Cell Analysis, Single-cell RNA-seq tutorials

Seurat (Butler et. al 2018) and Scanpy (Wolf et. al 2018) are two great analytics tools for single-cell RNA-seq data due to their straightforward and simple workflow. However, for those who want to interact with their data, and flexibly select a cell population outside a cluster for analysis, it is […]
