Transcriptomics data available for cell types on VFB

Transcriptomics data is now available on VFB! Find scRNAseq clusters from the Term Info pane for a cell type of interest.

We now incorporate scRNAseq data from multiple studies, including the Fly Cell Atlas project and other datasets that identify nervous system cell types. These datasets can be found by searching for ‘scRNAseq’ and filtering to ‘Dataset’.

Clusters can be found for particular cell types via the ‘Single cell transcriptomics data for..’ query on the cell type Term Info pane.

transcriptomics_query

Genes for a particular cluster can be filtered by function and sorted by expression level and extent (proportion of cells in cluster expressing the gene). As with other VFB search results, these can be exported as a csv. Note that we currently only include genes that have extent > 0.2 in a cluster.

cluster_genes

Data can also be retrieved using VFB_connect.

We pull scRNAseq data from FlyBase, which takes it from the Single Cell Expression Atlas.
