HRApop extraction sites

Assigning a spatial location via the Registration User Interface (RUI, https://apps.humanatlas.io/rui) is an essential requirement for a dataset to be included in HRApop. Below is an instance of the Exploration User Interface (EUI, see federated version with all registered tissue blocks here) that only shows extraction sites for datasets in HRApop.

Interactive 3D visualization of cell type populations for outer cortex of kidney

This 3D visualization shows 36 unique cell types with a total of ~6,000 cells. These are found in these anatomical structures based on experimental data registered into them (for performance reasons). A 5x5x5 mm tissue block is shown for scale. Please click and drag your left mouse button to rotate the camera around the kidney; click drag the right mouse button to pan; use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Code to demonstrate how 3D cells can be generated with Python is available here. LOAD button to take user to interactive 3D visualization.

Single-cell proteomics data

For HRApop v.10.1, the HRA Workflows Runner handled the download, annotation, and summary of single cell (sc-)transcriptomics datasets; cell summaries for sc-proteomics datasets were compiled on Github at https://github.com/cns-iu/hra-ct-summaries-mx-spatial-data/tree/main. The HRApop Construction and Enrichment Pipeline gathered cell summaries for these datasets from there. Each dataset features a cell type for each cell but also individual coordinates.
