Results & Visualization

bioAF provides multiple ways to explore and share your analysis results, from interactive single-cell viewers to publication-ready QC reports.

cellxgene

For single-cell datasets, bioAF integrates cellxgene, an interactive explorer that lets you:

  • Visualize UMAP and t-SNE embeddings
  • Color cells by gene expression, cluster assignment, or sample metadata
  • Select and compare cell populations
  • Export visualizations

CellxGene Discover showing UMAP embedding with cells colored by cluster, gene expression sidebar, and metadata panel

No installation needed, cellxgene runs as part of the platform and opens directly in your browser.

QC dashboards

Every pipeline run generates a QC dashboard with key quality metrics:

  • Cell counts and viability
  • Sequencing read depth and mapping rates
  • Gene detection rates
  • Doublet scores
  • Mitochondrial content

QC dashboard with summary statistics, violin plots, and quality metric charts

Plot archive

All plots generated by pipelines are collected in a searchable archive. You can:

  • Browse by experiment, pipeline, or date
  • Search by plot name or type
  • Download individual plots or bulk export
  • View full-resolution versions in the browser

Sharing results

Results can be shared with anyone on the platform through their role-based access. PIs and lab managers can review results directly without needing to understand the analysis pipeline that produced them.
