Exploring the Human Cell Atlas Data Coordinating Platform


Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)

This package provides users with the ability to query the Human Cell Atlas data repository for single-cell experiment data. The `projects()`, `files()`, `samples()` and `bundles()` functions retrieve summary information on each of these indexes; corresponding `*_details()` are available for individual entries of each index. File-based resources can be downloaded using `files_download()`. Advanced use of the package allows the user to page through large result sets, and to flexibly query the 'list-of-lists' structure representing query responses.
