Can I use bulk RNA sequencing data as reference? #32

Hi, I have a dataset with about 100 samples and each cell type contains around 10-20 samples, can I make it as a reference dataset and project a single cell RNA dataset onto it?

Thank you!

Hello, currently we do not have a direct way of using a bulk RNA-seq dataset as a reference.

Perhaps you could try using a tool such as singleR, which should allow you to train a classifier based on your bulk data?

Best, -m
