The HuBMAP Data Portal hosts 9,316 public datasets across 26 data types, covering 29 organ classes from 501 donors, enabling multimodal spatial and single-cell analysis in-browser.
- Why it matters: Spatial single-cell studies need a unified place to find, visualize, and compare data across organs, donors, and laboratories, while supporting scalable analysis workflows.
- What they did: The portal provides metadata- and data-driven search, collaborative Workspaces with high-performance compute, and interactive Vitessce visualizations for non-spatial, 2D, and 3D spatial datasets.
- The result: Uniform processing pipelines with rigorous quality control support comparability across labs, organs, and donors, while community-contributed datasets add complementary views for large-scale research.
