Biomage’s Cellenics® add-on joins the eLabMarketplace to help researchers generate biological insights from single-cell RNA-seq datasets

eLabNext’s digital lab platform can now connect to Cellenics, a cloud-based analytics tool that can process, analyse, and visualise single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. With the Cellenics add-on, biologists can effortlessly generate publication-ready figures from count matrices in just a few days without writing a single line of code.

Uncovering heterogeneity with single-cell techniques

Increasingly, the heterogeneity in complex biological systems is being interrogated through single-cell sequencing technologies. This knowledge is advancing scientists’ understanding of basic biology, disease states, and the safety and efficacy of therapeutics. ScRNA-seq has been essential for powering these insights, enabling researchers to discover minor yet meaningful cell populations with robust biological impact. Single-cell methods further help comprehensively characterise cell and gene therapies that revolutionise the treatment of many diseases, including cancer.

Yet, processing, analysing, and visualising scRNA-seq data can be complicated, particularly for scientists who don’t have experience with coding or operating complex bioinformatics pipelines. This barrier limits the impact of single-cell techniques, making data analysis and visualisation inaccessible to many scientists in the life science industry.

Effortless exploration of scRNA-seq data

By partnering with Biomage, eLabNext has integrated the Cellenics tool as an add-on to its comprehensive, all-in-one digital lab platform, eLabJournal. Cellenics enables scRNA-seq data to be uploaded with the simple click of a button. Once uploaded, researchers can perform in-depth processing, quality control, and examination of their data, including differential expression, biomarker, and pathway analysis. Cellenics offers a user-friendly interface explicitly designed for biologists, with pre-loaded plots that make it easy to visualise results or export them for manuscript preparation.

Faster collaboration through integration

Integrating directly with eLabJournal, the Cellenics add-on makes it easy for research partners and collaborators to share raw scRNA-seq data, processed data, or data visualisations. eLabJournal helps improve laboratory efficiency and elevate research by providing an infrastructure for data management. In combination with Cellenics, eLabJournal makes analysis, management, visualisation, and sharing of scRNA-seq data less complicated and more straightforward.

About Biomage

Biomage hosts a community instance of Cellenics, an open-source, cloud-based analytics tool for single-cell RNA sequencing data developed at Harvard Medical School. The platform provides a fast and user-friendly interface that allows biologists without bioinformatics or coding expertise to analyse single-cell datasets. Cellenics is available to academic, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical partners for streamlined single-cell transcriptomics data processing, analysis, and visualization.
