Chapter 7 Shared Data

7.1 Datasets

Single-cell RNA-seq datasets that are commonly used by the lab are on the server home under shared/datasets. Each dataset is a separate .txt file and the files are categorised into subfolders by cancer type (or “Normal”).

For more information on the datasets found here, go to shared/datasets/INFO.If you would like to add a dataset, please also add the relevant metadata to the excel spreadsheet in the shared/datasets/INFO directory.

7.2 Gene signatures

Gene signatures derived from scRNA-seq datasets are also on the server home. You can find these under shared/datasets/SIGNATURES. The signatures are collapsed into a single .txt file in two different formats, “long” and “wide”. The former includes metadata, while the latter contains the minimal amount of information - one signature per column of the matrix.

For more information on the gene signatures as well as how to add signatures, please see shared/datasets/SIGNATURES/README.
