SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires encode, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill facilitates the integration and quality assessment of multiple single-cell RNA-seq datasets to identify reproducible cell populations and gene markers across studies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dataset Discovery & Download: Finds relevant ENCODE or public scRNA-seq experiments for specific tissues and retrieves gene quantification files.
  • Quality Control & Filtering: Assesses experiment QC metrics like gene detection, mitochondrial content, and removes low-quality datasets.
  • Data Integration: Combines datasets using methods like Harmony, scVI, or Seurat, accommodating platform differences and batch effects.
  • Annotation & Harmonization: Supports manual, automated, or reference-based cell type annotations, resolving label discrepancies with CellHint.
  • Reproducibility Analysis: Compares markers across datasets, examines detection limits with TIN scores, and evaluates contamination levels to identify robust findings.
  • Downstream Processing: Performs differential expression analysis (pseudobulk), cell proportion comparison, and trajectory inference on integrated data.

Quick Start

Search for scRNA-seq experiments on pancreas tissue, select high-quality datasets, and perform an integrated analysis to discover conserved cell types and reliable marker genes.
