@@ -6,48 +6,62 @@ _an interactive explorer for single-cell transcriptomics data_
cellxgene (pronounced "cell-by-gene") is an interactive data explorer for single-cell transcriptomics datasets, such as those coming from the [Human Cell Atlas](https://humancellatlas.org). Leveraging modern web development techniques to enable fast visualizations of at least 1 million cells, we hope to enable biologists and computational researchers to explore their data.

Whether you need to visualize one thousand cells or one million, cellxgene helps you gain insight into your single-cell data.

## quick start
# Getting started
### The comprehensive guide to cellxgene
[The cellxgene documentation is your one-stop-shop for information about cellxgene](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/)! You may be particularly interested in:

* Learning more about cellxgene [installation](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/posts/install) and [usage](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/posts/launch)
* [Preparing your own data](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/posts/prepare) for use in cellxgene
* Checking out [our roadmap](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/posts/roadmap) for future development
* [Contributing](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/posts/contribute) to cellxgene
To install cellxgene you need Python 3.6+. We recommend [installing cellxgene into a conda or virtual environment.](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/faq.html#how-do-i-create-a-python-36-environment-for-cellxgene)
### Quick start
To install cellxgene you need Python 3.6+. We recommend [installing cellxgene into a conda or virtual environment.](https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/posts/install)
Install the package.
```bash
``` bash
pip install cellxgene
```

## where we are going
Our goal is to enable teams of computational and experimental
biologists to collaboratively gain insight into their single-cell RNA-seq data.
There are 4 key features we plan to implement in the near term.
- Click install and launch
- Manual annotation workflows
- Toggle embeddings
- Gene information
For more detail on these features and where we are going, see [our roadmap](https://github.com/chanzuckerberg/cellxgene/blob/master/ROADMAP.md).
