CellKb - a database of cell type markers
CellKb is a knowledgebase of cell type marker gene sets manually collected from scientific literature and annotated with cell, tissue and disease ontologies.
Contents
- 22,568 marker gene sets
- 1,802 cell types
- 403 publications
- 11 species
The cell type markers are taken primarily from tables, figures or supplementary materials/websites of publications describing single-cell RNA-seq experiments and select bulk RNA-seq and microarray experiments from public databases. More about data collection, curation and annotation in CellKb.
CellKb 2.0 FREE academic version
With this version, users can:
- Search cell types using one or more genes (identified using a variation of the Rank Bias Overlap algorithm)
- Get a list of top 20 matching genes between query gene list and matching cell types
- Search cell types by keywords such a disease, cell type ontology, sample condition
- Browse all cell types by various categories such as species, disease, publication year, tissue and cell type name
CellKb Immune, a database of immune cell type marker gene sets from mouse, is available at https//www.cellkb.com/immune
