By utilizing tools like Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and pathway analysis, we uncover the functional implications of differentially expressed genes, helping you understand the biological processes driving your observations.
Cell-Cell Interaction Analysis: We analyze cell-cell interactions to unravel the communication networks within your tissue. Using computational approaches like CellPhoneDB and ligand-receptor correlation analysis, we identify potential signaling interactions between different cell types. This analysis sheds light on the molecular mechanisms driving cellular responses and coordination within the tissue.
Trajectory Analysis: We provide trajectory analysis to infer developmental paths and transitions between different cell states. By employing algorithms such as PAGA and scFates, we reconstruct cellular trajectories and identify critical branching points. This analysis offers insights into the regulatory networks and molecular events guiding cell fate decisions.
Integrative Single-cell Analysis: We offer integrative single-cell analysis to compare and integrate scRNA-seq data from multiple samples or conditions. Our methods, including the scArches pipeline, allow for seamless data integration, enabling you to identify shared and distinct cell types, characterize condition-specific gene expression patterns, and uncover molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic differences.
Ligand-Receptor Analysis: We provide ligand-receptor analysis to elucidate the intercellular communication within your scRNA-seq data. We infer potential signaling interactions between cells by identifying ligand-receptor pairs and integrating gene expression information with known databases. We offer insights into the communication pathways that regulate tissue homeostasis and cellular processes.
Spatial Transcriptomic Analysis: We offer spatial transcriptomic analysis to combine spatial information with gene expression data, allowing you to visualize and analyze gene expression patterns within the context of tissue architecture. By integrating spatial information obtained through techniques like spatial transcriptomics or in situ sequencing, we provide a deeper understanding of how gene expression varies across different tissue regions or cell types, highlighting spatially regulated gene expression and cell-cell interactions within the tissue microenvironment.
Differential Gene Expression Analysis: We perform differential gene expression analysis to identify uniquely upregulated or downregulated genes in specific cell clusters or conditions. This analysis helps pinpoint key regulatory genes and pathways involved in cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and treatment responses.
Functional Annotation and Pathway Analysis: We provide functional annotation and pathway analysis to link differentially expressed genes to biological functions and pathways. Utilizing databases such as KEGG, Reactome, and GO, we interpret your data in the context of known biological pathways, enhancing your understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.
