s CIRCLE-An interactive visual exploration tool for single cell RNA-Seq data.

s CIRCLE ( s ingle- C ell I nteractive R eal-time C omputer visualization for L ow-dimensional E xploration) is a tool for exploratory analysis of single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data sets, with a focus on bacterial scRNA-seq. The software takes an information design perspective to re-envision visually and interactively exploring low dimensional representations of scRNA-Seq data. Users can project cells in various 3D and 2D spaces and interactively query and paint cells using rich metadata sets reporting on cell cluster, gene function, and gene expression. As a standalone application it contains, among other features, options for dimensionality reduction, navigation and interaction with data in 3d and 2d space, gene filtering, fold change and metacell computation as well as various capabilities for visualization, data import and export.
