SCInter: A comprehensive single-cell transcriptome integration database for human and mouse.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), which profiles gene expression at the cellular level, has effectively explored cell heterogeneity and reconstructed developmental trajectories. With the increasing research on diseases and biological processes, scRNA-seq datasets are accumulating rapidly, highlighting the urgent need for collecting and processing these data to support comprehensive and effective annotation and analysis. Here, we have developed a comprehensive ingle-ell transcriptome gration database fo human and mouse (SCInter, https://bio.liclab.net/SCInter/index.php), which aims to provide a manually curated database that supports the provision of gene expression profiles across various cell types at the sample level. The current version of SCInter includes 115 integrated datasets and 1016 samples, covering nearly 150 tissues/cell lines. It contains 8016,646 cell markers in 457 identified cell types. SCInter enabled comprehensive analysis of cataloged single-cell data encompassing quality control (QC), clustering, cell markers, multi-method cell type automatic annotation, predicting cell differentiation trajectories and so on. At the same time, SCInter provided a user-friendly interface to query, browse, analyze and visualize each integrated dataset and single cell sample, along with comprehensive QC reports and processing results. It will facilitate the identification of cell type in different cell subpopulations and explore developmental trajectories, enhancing the study of cell heterogeneity in the fields of immunology and oncology.
