scRNA-agent

Single-cell RNA-seq
analysis for biologists.

AutoRun is a starting point. Your next question takes it further.

AutoRun generates an initial annotated dataset. Continue investigating biological questions interactively with Codex, revise previous analysis decisions and generate additional scientific results.

Prefer a step-by-step approach? Guided Run keeps you involved in analysis decisions. Scientific computation and project storage stay local.

Get to know scRNA-agent
01

Ask biological questions

Explore your data with project-aware AI assistance and structured scientific guidance.

02

Run the analysis locally

Use local R and Python environments while raw scientific data stay on your computer.

03

Keep a traceable record

Review figures, reports, and analysis artifacts in a project you control.

02 / Local by design

Your data stay close. Your analysis moves forward.

Raw matrices stay on your computer, where R and Python run the analysis. The protected Core provides maintained workflows and scientific guidance without needing your raw dataset.

Scientific capabilities

A dataset is the beginning of the investigation.

From cell identity to biological comparisons, build a scientific record you can review and reuse.

Screenshot previews are being prepared. The spaces below are placeholders, not scientific results.

Verified example forthcoming

Annotated UMAP

Explore cell populations and review cell-type annotations.

Verified example forthcoming

Markers & heatmaps

Examine marker expression to support annotation decisions.

Verified example forthcoming

Differential expression

Compare groups and inspect volcano plots in the context of your study.

Verified example forthcoming

Pathway enrichment

Investigate gene sets with GSEA enrichment figures.

Verified example forthcoming

Interactive Workbench

Ask follow-up questions and revisit analysis choices with Codex.
