A machine learning model for cell type classification? When analyzing single-cell transcriptomic data, scientists often perform cell type annotations by checking individual marker genes. However, marker genes are not even consistent among different literature sources. Six months ago, armed with the largest curated single-cell transcriptomic data, BioTuring single-cell team naively […]

How to explore “Characterizing smoking-induced transcriptional heterogeneity in the human bronchial epithelium at single-cell resolution” (Duclos et. al 2019) | BioTuring Cellpedia
#
, ,

Multiple studies have shown smoking’s effects on the human bronchi. However, few have characterized its precise impact at cellular resolution. Published recently on Science Advances, a study by Duclos and colleagues has employed single-cell RNA sequencing into exploring the cellular changes in the human bronchial epithelium between current and never […]

A sub-clustering tutorial: explore T cell subsets with BioTuring Single-cell Browser
#
,

Single-cell RNA sequencing technologies have enabled many exciting discoveries of novel cell types and sub-types, such as the rosehip neurons (Boldog et al., 2018), disease-associated microglia (Keren-Shaul et al., 2017) and lipid-associated macrophages (Jaitin, Adlung, Thaiss, Weiner and Li et al., 2019). While sub-clustering cell populations is essential to find […]

4 simple steps to perform differential expression analysis in single-cell data using BioTuring Browser
#
,

In single-cell data analysis, it is critical to understand how gene expression varies among different cell types, tissue compartments, conditions, or different patients. Although many tools and methods have been developed to support single-cell differential expression analysis, they all require some basic coding skills. In this blog, we show you […]

Single-cell sequencing technologies have brought up an unprecedented level of resolution to omics studies with extremely detailed views into individual cells’ expression patterns. With the emergence of drop-based sequencing methods, the resolution now even comes with scale and efficiency. In a single experiment, scientists can now profile hundreds of thousands […]
