Cellxgene enables scientists to annotate, publish, find, download, explore and analyze single cell datasets. Cellxgene has two offerings (which both give you access to the cellxgene explorer):
- The cellxgene Data Portal - a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform to publish, find, download, and explore single cell data. Enables you to explore yours and other authors' publication ready data.
- cellxgene Desktop - a PyPI package to explore and annotate single cell datasets. Enables you to privately explore single cell data.
