ANPELA is designed for navigating the data processing for cytometry-based Single-Cell Proteomics (SCP).
Desktop Software of ANPELA is downloadable at Download. R Package of ANPELA is availale at https://github.com/idrblab/ANPELA.
ANPELA 3.0 has significantly improved its practicality, focusing primarily on the following points: 1. multi-scenarios deployment (versatile choices meet diverse user needs, as shown in 'Multi-scenarios Deployments of ANPELA'); 2. data security (local execution ensures data confidentiality); 3. open source (modular codes facilitate readers’ free editing); and 4. user-friendly interface (the visual interface enhances user application).

Summary and Visualization of the Uploaded Raw SCP Data
- The Expression of Proteins (columns) in Different Cells (rows)
- Stacked Density Plot for Different Samples
WARNING
The filenames of your uploaded FCS files are inconsistent with those of your uploaded metadata file.
Note that ANPELA requires the user to upload FCS files whose filename order is exactly the same as that of the metadata file.
Please refresh the page and reupload the raw FCS files & metadata in the correct format.
WARNING
The number of uploaded FCS file(s) is not enough for the subsequent analysis.
Particularly, for two-class research, at least two samples for each class are required; for trajectory inference research, at least two time points are required.
Please refresh the page and reupload the raw FCS files & metadata in the correct format.
