Is there any way to filter the recount3 study explorer for single cell versus bulk datasets? I have tried searching with "bulk" and -"single cell" in abstracts. Could there be some additional filtering column for this purpose?

Hi @kstachelek,

We have predicted whether samples are bulk or single cell under the recount_pred columns http://rna.recount.bio/docs/raw-files.html#project-level-metadata-files like at:

Regrettably, we don't have the information for all studies. So we haven't tried to include that information on the study explorer. Also, the curated information was done by one of our co-authors for _some_ studies, not all of them.

Best, Leo
