Single-Cell Analysis — Overview¶
Kind: engine · Demo: E8 · Source: core/engines/single-cell

Illustrative. Single-Cell Analysis at a glance.
What it is¶
Takes a sample of thousands of individual cells and works out how many distinct cell types are present.
Why it matters¶
Bulk measurements average across cell types and hide the population that matters. Single-cell resolution recovers it.
Decision support for a qualified clinician — never autonomous diagnosis or prescribing. Every output on this page is intended to inform a clinician's judgement, not replace it.
Honest limit¶
Cluster annotation is by marker-gene overlap against a canonical panel. It is a strong heuristic, not a ground truth.
Endpoints¶
:8573 — a single-service portal, so there is no separate API port
