Transcripts per million (TPM) single cell RNA-Seq data for 5,902 cells from 18 patients–oral cavity head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC)– are available from GEO GSE103322. These data are also available as a SingleCellExpression from ExperimentHub.
In the example below, we show how this dataset can be dwnloaded from ExperimentHub.
