Transcriptomics from single cells to spatial maps

Computational Biology

The Computational Biology area is a web workspace for transcriptomic analysis. Upload single-cell, bulk, or spatial datasets; run guided QC, clustering, differential expression, enrichment, and biomarker pipelines; explore results interactively; and assemble publication-ready figures — with full provenance for every step.

Use cases

Start from a research scenario

Guided workflows map common questions to data requirements, analysis steps, and documentation — pick the scenario closest to your study.
