Schematic of the Cell Annotation Service pipeline. Given a query cell, the tool performs a series of steps to generate a consensus annotation.

The Broad Institute recently highlighted the Cell Annotation Service (CAS), a groundbreaking tool developed by Mehrtash Babadi, a co-investigator at the Center for Human Brain Variation, and the Data Sciences Platform team. CAS uses advanced machine learning to accelerate single-cell annotation, transforming a time-intensive process into a rapid, efficient workflow. This feature showcases how CAS is making significant strides in single-cell research, enabling faster, more accurate identification of cell types and states.
