 `cellxgene` 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, and to demonstrate general, scalable, and reusable patterns for scientific data visualization.
