Single cell analysis of highly heterogeneous samples yields complex cellular data that contain valuable biological insights. Cell annotation is an essential and often time-consuming step towards accessing these insights, especially for new users, as it requires researchers to parse through publications and databases to identify widely used marker genes. That's why we teamed up with the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard to develop the Automated Cell Annotation feature—available in Cell Ranger 9.0 and through the 10x Genomics Cloud Analysis platform—which automatically identifies and annotates cell types based on standardized single cell datasets, reducing the burden of manual annotation.
This feature can help new and expert users alike feel more confident in their results with annotations based on >1K datasets and >96M unique cells. Join our upcoming webinar for a demonstration of key features of the Automated Cell Annotation, including:
