Dataset Card for PillarCorpus-single-cell

Dataset Details

Dataset Description

PillarCorpus includes over 90M single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) profiles spanning human and mouse samples. This dataset covers multiple disease conditions and tissue types from various publicly available sources.

• Curated by: (QiuLab)[https://www.devo-evo.com/]
• License: MIT

Uses

The dataset has contains the following columns:

• gene_ids:

  • Stored as list of integer codes that reference an internal vocabulary mapping to gene names or identifiers.

  • Typically follows standard nomenclature (e.g., HGNC for human genes, MGI for mouse genes).

  • Enables consistent and memory-efficient representation across the dataset.

• gene_values

  • Refer to the gene expression counts, this is raw count integer corresponding to each gene in gene_ids.

• tissue:

  • Encoded as indices that map to a vocabulary of tissue types.

• cell_type:

  • Represented by numeric codes that refer to descriptive categories in the vocabulary.
  • Categories include types like T cells and B cells etc.

• assay:

  • Uses integer indices to point to assay names or experimental techniques in the vocabulary.

Dataset Creation

Source Data

The dataset originates from numerous research labs depositing their scRNA-seq studies in repositories such as Cellxgene. We extracted the metadata labels, such as sequencing assay types, from the data description.
