Amazing new tool published @NatureBiotech on interactive analysis of single cell data. The study introduces CellWhisperer, an AI model that links transcriptomes with text descriptions to support natural language queries and zero shot cell type predictions, and integrates it with CELLxGENE for exploration. Really cool, no coding skills needed at all!
