The three large-scale cross-tissue cell atlases, comprising of the scRNA and snRNA-seq profiling of more than 1 million cells from more than 30 human tissues, were constructed by researchers from HCA Consortium. These atlases provide an unprecedented resource for systematic comparison of cell types and systematic association of diseases with cell types across tissues. Herein, the former section mainly included the Cellular composition comparison module that assessed the relative abundances for diverse cell types across tissues and the Cellular features comparison that investigated the tissue-shared and –specific transcriptional features. The latter section mainly contained the Monogenic disorder-cell types module that associating cell types with monogenic disease phenotypes, such as muscle diseases, and the Complex disease-cell types module that associating cell types with complex diseases, such as COPD, gaining deep insights into mechanism underlying human physiology and diseases.
