a catalog of worldwide biological databases

Single-cell proteomics (SCP) has emerged as a powerful tool for detecting cellular heterogeneity, offering unprecedented insights into biological mechanisms that are masked in bulk cell populations. With the rapid advancements in AI-based time trajectory analysis and cell subpopulation identification, there exists a pressing need for a database that not only provides SCP raw data but also explicitly describes experimental details and protein expression profiles. However, no such database has been available yet. In this study, a database, entitled 'SingPro', specializing in single-cell proteomics was thus developed. It was unique in (a) systematically providing the SCP raw data for both mass spectrometry-based and flow cytometry-based studies and (b) explicitly describing experimental detail for SCP study and expression profile of any studied protein. Anticipating a robust interest from the research community, this database is poised to become an invaluable repository for OMICs-based biomedical studies.
