Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) generates a much larger and more complex volume of data than traditional transcriptome sequencing. Lifeasible uses bioinformatics tools to help clients analyze and interpret plant scRNA-seq data. Our unique skills in data analysis will exceed our client's expectations of personalized data analysis and provide the most comprehensive data analysis results.

Introduction to Plant scRNA-seq Analysis

Plant scRNA-seq has revolutionized the field of plant biology by enabling researchers to study the transcriptional activity of individual cells at an unprecedented resolution. This technology provides valuable insights into the cellular activities that underlie plant growth and development and stress adaptation. The rapid growth of single-cell transcriptomics data requires the creation of databases and tools to accommodate and explore these data so that everyone interested in the expression patterns of specific genes in different cell types can easily access and utilize these data and identify cell type-specific reference and marker genes for further study. All currently available plant scRNA-seq databases are based on individual scRNA-seq studies of a single plant species. Therefore, a comprehensive plant scRNA database for the plant community is imperative.

What We Offer

With the rapid increase in scRNA-seq data, there is a growing need for bioinformatics services that can efficiently analyze and interpret these complex datasets. Lifeasible offers a comprehensive data analysis process for plant scRNA-seq. Our expert team combines cutting-edge bioinformatics tools and custom algorithms to ensure accurate and efficient analysis of raw sequencing data.

(1) Data Pre-processing and Quality Control

Lifeasible specializes in providing robust data pre-processing services, including read matching, barcode processing, and removing low-quality cells and sequencing artifacts. By employing advanced algorithms and quality control metrics, Lifeasible ensures that only high-quality cells and transcripts are included in subsequent analyses.

(2) Cell Type Identification and Clustering Analysis

Lifeasible provides state-of-the-art algorithms and methods for cell type identification and clustering analysis. By employing unsupervised clustering algorithms such as t-distributed random neighborhood embedding (t-SNE) and uniform flow shape approximation and projection (UMAP), Lifeasible accurately groups cells based on their transcriptional similarity.

(3) Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Lifeasible uses advanced statistical methods, such as likelihood ratio tests and negative binomial modeling, to detect differentially expressed genes. Lifeasible can provide a comprehensive list of marker genes for specific cell types to help understand cell-specific functions and regulatory networks.

(4) Trajectory Analysis and Development of Pseudotime Inference

Lifeasible offers trajectory analysis services that enable researchers to reconstruct developmental trajectories and infer pseudotimes. By combining scRNA-seq data with trajectory inference algorithms such as Monocle or Slingshot, Lifeasible can reveal the chronology of cell state transitions and identify essential regulatory genes and pathways involved in plant development.
