About FlyAnatoView:
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful approach for measuring the transcriptomic landscape at single-cell resolution. However, while scRNA-seq data reveals what genes each cell expresses, they do not indicate where that cell was located within the tissue or organ, anatomically. FlyAnatoView was developed to project scRNA-seq data onto anatomical diagrams, restoring this missing spatial context.
