BD Cellismo™ Data Visualisation Tool

More actionable insights. No coding required.

For Professionals in Research

Overview

The BD Cellismo™ Data Visualisation Tool is a software tool for secondary analysis and visualisation of single-cell multiomics data. It helps researchers turn millions of data points into actionable insights without writing a single line of code.

With the BD Cellismo™ Data Visualisation Tool, you can easily visualise data from your samples across various parameters; subset cells into populations based on gene expression; create histograms, heatmaps, dot plots, volcano plots, violin plots, tSNE and UMAP plots; and customise and export plots as .PNG or .SVG files for collaboration and publication.

Watch the video to see how you can analyse your data using both primary analysis, with the BD Rhapsody™ Sequence Analysis Pipeline, and secondary analysis.

Features

Intuitive: Point and click to visualise your data as graphs and plots
User Friendly: No cost of adoption; no coding required
Multiomics Enabled: Explore single-cell RNA + protein datasets with ease

Generate the Same Data Visualisation as Seurat¹Using the BD Cellismo™ Data Visualisation Tool—Without Writing Any Code or Programming

With the BD Cellismo™ Data Visualisation Tool (right) you’re able to generate the same data visualisation as with Seurat (left), without having to write any code. The BD Cellismo™ Data Visualisation Tool’s interface also lets you easily customise your figures (e.g., dot size, colour, opacity) in a point and click fashion.

Input Requirements:

(Preferred) .Cellismo output file from the BD Rhapsody™ Sequence Analysis Pipeline. This file contains the expression data for all modalities (RNA and AbSeq) in addition to any cell annotations that are created by the pipeline (e.g., Sample Multiplexing Tag, Immune Cell Type).
Alternative input formats:
1. Market exchange (MEX)
2. H5MU/H5AD

Release Notes

Latest Version: v1.0 | Release Date: March 2025

Initial release includes the following features:

Load single-cell multiomic data from multiple formats, including BD Rhapsody™ Sequence Analysis Pipeline .Cellismo files with bundled metadata, matrix market MEX, Scanpy/Muon or H5MU/H5AD
Manage multiple single-cell projects and jump between them with a few clicks
Quality control with a visual on which cells are being removed
Generate 7 different types of graphs: Dimensionality reduction scatter, Biaxial, Bioproduct correlation, Heatmap, Dot plot, Histogram and Violin.
Extensive graph customisation with style options
Save images to a project gallery sidebar and recall them with ease
Drag gallery images from the sidebar to external applications
Create new cell annotations, by circling cells of interest, by running Leiden or K-means clustering, or by combining existing annotations
Analyse differential expression between cell groups of interest. Filter genes of interest in a table and view on a volcano plot
Generate new dimensionality reduction coordinates
Supports whole transcriptome or targeted RNA, protein counts with AbSeq/CITE-seq and sample multiplexing
