CLAIREscope v1.0.0: Initial Public Release
π¬ CLAIREscope v1.0.0 β Initial Public Release
We are excited to announce the initial public release of CLAIREscope (Single-Cell Cutaneous Landscape Analysis & Interactive Responsive Exploration platform), an open-source, high-throughput interactive visual analytics framework tailored for cutaneous biology, single-cell genomics, and multi-condition cohort comparisons.
π Key Highlights & Exploration Modules
-
π¨ Static & Interactive UMAP Studios:
- Side-by-side comparison grids with Loupe Browser-style Log2 scaling and anchor percentile contrast thresholds.
- Interactive 2D & 3D hardware-accelerated Plotly WebGL viewer with customizable color schemes, point density, and 3D camera controls.
-
π Quantitative Cohort Analytics:
- Sample Composition Studio: Proportional donut charts and stacked distributions with automated Fisher's exact / Chi-square test statistics.
- Gene Expression Violins: Multi-gene distribution violins with automated non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test p-values.
-
Co-Expression & Correlation Studio: Bivariate scatter plots with linear regression, Pearson (
$), and Spearman ($ \rho$) correlation metrics.
-
𧬠Functional Genomics & Dynamics:
- Signature & Pathway Scoring Studio: Built-in score generator for custom gene sets and cutaneous biology signatures.
- Developmental Trajectory Analysis: Diffusion Pseudotime (DPT) curves, vector trajectories, and precomputed analysis galleries.
-
Differential Expression & Volcano Plot Studio: Interactive volcano plots with customizable
$\log_2\text{FC}$ and $-value cutoffs. - Pathway Enrichment Studio: Hypergeometric over-representation analysis against curated Gene Ontology and pathway databases.
- Expression Heatmap Studio: Publication-grade hierarchical clustered heatmaps with Z-score standardization.
-
π©Ί Curated Cutaneous Biology Knowledgebase:
- Integrated signature library spanning epidermal differentiation (Basal 1, Basal 2, Spinous, Granular), hair follicle compartments, fibroblast subpopulations, immune infiltrates, and wound healing cascades.
-
π» Desktop Integration:
- Native 1-click desktop launcher (CLAIREscope.bat) and Python Tkinter Server Manager GUI.
