Description
The Cell Marker Accordion is a user-friendly platform comprising a gene
marker database, an interactive R Shiny web
application and an R package
to automatically annotate and interpret single-cell populations based on consistency weighted
markers.
The Cell Marker Accordion database is built upon multiple published databases of human and mouse
gene markers for cell types across multiple tissues, standard collections of widely used cell sorting markers and
literature-based marker genes associated with disease-critical cells in multiple pathologies, including liquid and
solid tumors.
The Shiny app incorporates reactive programming allowing users to access, explore and download the
Cell Marker Accordion database. Furthermore, users can upload custom gene sets to integrate with the Cell Marker
Accordion database or identify the closest associated cell type, all without requiring programming skills.
To perfom cell type annotation exploiting the comprehensive Cell Marker Accordion algorithm, we recommend using our
R package.
