What is Cell Type Annotation?
Cell type annotation is the process of identifying and labeling different cell types in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. This crucial step in single-cell analysis helps researchers understand cellular diversity, disease mechanisms, and developmental processes.
Traditional Methods
Manual annotation relies on marker genes and expert knowledge, which is:
- Time-consuming (hours to days)
- Subjective and inconsistent
- Limited by human expertise
