SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Finds differentially expressed genes (markers) for clusters of T/B cells using Seurat's FindMarkers function. Performs statistical testing between clusters, identifies cluster-defining genes, and automatically runs pathway enrichment analysis (via Enrichr) on significant markers. Generates publication-ready visualizations including volcano plots, dot plots, heatmaps, and enrichment plots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • After Seurat clustering, interpret clusters by identifying marker genes and their enriched pathways.
  • Automatically perform enrichment analyses with Enrichr to reveal functional themes.
  • Produce publication-quality visuals (volcano plots, dot plots, heatmaps) for reports and manuscripts.

Quick Start

Run cluster marker analysis on a SeuratClustering object to identify cluster-defining genes and generate enrichment visualizations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify differentially expressed genes for clusters in Seurat single-cell RNA-seq data?

To identify differentially expressed genes for clusters in Seurat single-cell RNA-seq data, use FindMarkers to statistically test between clusters and define cluster-specific genes.

Can I automatically run pathway enrichment on Seurat cluster markers?

Yes, you can automatically run pathway enrichment on Seurat cluster markers using Enrichr, which analyzes significant markers to reveal functional themes and generate enrichment plots.

What is the best way to generate publication-ready visualizations for single-cell cluster markers?

Generating publication-ready visualizations for single-cell cluster markers involves creating volcano plots, dot plots, and heatmaps from Seurat FindMarkers results to interpret cluster identities.

When do I need to perform cluster marker identification after single-cell clustering?

You need to perform cluster marker identification after single-cell clustering to interpret cluster identities, annotate cell types, and drive downstream enrichment analyses.

Does cluster marker analysis support T and B cell single-cell data?

Yes, cluster marker analysis supports T and B cell single-cell data, finding differentially expressed genes for clusters of T/B cells using Seurat's FindMarkers function.

What outputs can I expect from single-cell cluster marker and enrichment analysis?

Outputs from single-cell cluster marker and enrichment analysis include marker tables for reporting, pathway enrichment results, and publication-ready visuals like volcano plots and heatmaps.
