ISNAP: Integrated Single-cell data NAvigation Portal

What is the purpose of ISNAP?

• "Snappy" and flexible platform to publish biological data

  • Can be adapted for most R bioinformatic workflows

• Improve readership and increase credibility for research publications

  • Present and publish biological data in organized layout (interactive)

• Modular framework allows user to customize the interface

• Open source and free to be modified

What can ISNAP do right now?

• View SCENIC data through an interactive portal

What are the future plans for ISNAP?

• Seurat implementation is still in progress (improvements to plot rendering speed using R object)

• Integrate Velocyto (RNA velocity), bulk RNA-Seq, and other bioinformatic workflow data together to provide a richer biological image of lab data

• Ability to not only view and navigate through data but also run complete analyses
