Single-Cell Omics

The Single-Cell Omics (SCO) Community aims to advance the study of biological phenomena and cellular heterogeneity by leveraging single-cell omics technologies.

These technologies offer exciting possibilities:

• Identifying rare cell types previously hidden within complex tissues.
• Investigating diverse cell states to understand how cells function and interact.
• Gaining insights into fundamental processes like development, gene expression, and disease progression at an unprecedented, cellular level.

The ELIXIR Single-Cell Omics Community is actively addressing these challenges through several key initiatives:

• Promoting data standardisation to ensure data from different studies can be compared and integrated.
• Developing benchmarking tools to assess the performance of new analysis methods.
• Providing computational resources to facilitate researchers' access to the power they need for complex data analysis.
• Organizing training programs to equip researchers with the necessary skills and knowledge to utilize these technologies effectively.

By tackling these critical areas, the ELIXIR Single-Cell Omics Community fosters international collaboration and empowers researchers to unlock the full potential of single-cell omics for groundbreaking discoveries.
