CellMapper

"CellMapper" is an advanced approach designed to predict selectively expressed genes in specific cell types. The method leverages publicly available expression data and identifies genes with expression profiles similar to known cell-specific markers. CellMapper showcases clinical relevance by prioritizing candidate genes in disease susceptibility loci identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
