Single-Cell Atlases as Community Resources; Biological sciences; Evidence synthesis; Reproducibility; Research methodologyAbstract
There is real interest in single-cell atlases as community resources right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers
the most value. We pull together the current evidence for single-cell atlases as community resources, covering the methodological,
practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and reviewers
are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered
here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
