SCXA Search Gene

Search the EBI Single Cell Expression Atlas for single-cell experiments where a specific gene is expressed. Accepts gene symbols (TP53, BRCA1) or Ensembl IDs (ENSG00000141510). Returns matching scRNA-seq experiments with cell counts, technology, PubMed IDs, and DOIs. Useful for finding single-cell datasets studying a gene of interest. Example: TP53 returns 15 experiments including ovarian cancer, lung atlas datasets.
