We have multiple gene signatures for both cell types (e.g. CD3+ = T cell) or for pathway activation (e.g. KI67+ = proliferating). Some of these are canonical, others we find from papers or from doing our own differential expression. We'd like a common resource to easily store, display, discuss, and retrieve these, so we could say e.g. "Make sure all macrophages express the macrophage markers in the database".

When you say "discuss", did you imagine having a little chat section below the other information about a geneset? We could do this as an enhancement after MVP.

Yeah that would be really nice -- you could imagine someone saying "I found gene X as a marker for cell type Y in this paper, but when I plot it on our dataset it doesn't appear to be" etc
