From the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) website:
The cell is the core unit of the human body—the key to understanding the biology of health and the ways in which molecular dysfunction leads to disease. Yet our characterization of the hundreds of types and subtypes of cells in the human body is limited, based partly on techniques that have limited resolution and classifications that do not always map neatly to each other. Genomics has offered a systematic approach, but it has largely been applied in bulk to many cell types at once—masking critical differences between cells—and in isolation from other valuable sources of data.
Recent advances in single-cell genomic analysis of cells and tissues have put systematic, high-resolution and comprehensive reference maps of all human cells within reach. In other words, we can now realistically envision a human cell atlas to serve as a basis for both understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease.
At its core, a cell atlas would be a collection of cellular reference maps, characterizing each of the thousands of cell types in the human body and where they are found. It would be an extremely valuable resource to empower the global research community to systematically study the biological changes associated with different diseases, understand where genes associated with disease are active in our bodies, analyze the molecular mechanisms that govern the production and activity of different cell types, and sort out how different cell types combine and work together to form tissues.
The Human Cell Atlas facilitates queries on it's data coordination platform with a RESTFUL API.
To install this package, use Bioconductor's BiocManager package.
if (!require("BiocManager"))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install('HCABrowser')
library(HCABrowser)
The HCABrowser package relies on having network connectivety. Also, the HCA's Data Coordination Platform (DCP) must also be operational.
The HCABrowser object serves as the representation of the Human Cell
Atlas. Upon creation, it will automatically peform a cursorary query and
display a small table showing the first few bundles of the entire HCA. This
intial table contains some columns that we have determined are most useful
to users. The output also displays the url of the instance of the HCA DCP being
used, the current query, whether bundles or files are being displayed, and the
number of bundles in the results
By default, ten bundles per page will be displayed in the result and the default url to the HCA DCP will be used. Currently, the maximum number of bundles that can be shown per query is ten. These two values can be changed in the constructor.
If the HCA cannot be reached, an error will be thrown displaying the status of the request.

The HCA extends the functionality of the dplyr package's filter()
and select() methods.
The filter() method allows the user to query the HCA by relating fields to
certain values. Character fields can be queried using the operators:
==!=%in%%startsWith%%endsWith%%contains%Numeric fields can be queried with the operators:
==!=%in%><>=<=Queries can be encompassed by parenthesese
()Queries can be negated by placing the ! symbol in front
Combination operators can be used to combine queries
&|As an example, in order to find HCA resources associated with the brain. It can
the be seen by looking at the result of the fields method, that
organ.text can be used to reference files.specimen_from_organism.organ.text.
Running organ.text through values, we see the following:
hca %>% values('organ.text')
## # A tibble: 15 x 2
## field_names value
## <fct> <fct>
## 1 files.specimen_from_organism_json.organ.text pancreas
## 2 files.specimen_from_organism_json.organ.text tumor
## 3 files.specimen_from_organism_json.organ.text embryo
## 4 files.specimen_from_organism_json.organ.text lymph node
## 5 files.specimen_from_organism_json.organ.text Brain
## 6 files.specimen_from_organism_json.organ.text immune system
## 7 files.specimen_from_organism_json.organ.text blood

Now we see that “brain” and “Brain” are available values. Since these values are the result of input by other users, there may be errors or inconsistencies. To be safe, both fields can be queried with the following query:
hca2 <- hca %>% filter(organ.text == c('Brain', 'brain'))

Finally, instead of a using the filter and select methods, one can query
the Human Cell Atlas by using a json query and the postSearch() method.
Note that unabbreviated names must be used for these kinds of queries.
Once the user is satisfied with their query, the results() method can be
used to create a tibble of the first n bundles in the search.
Note that since the maximum page size is 10, the method will need to make
multiple requests to the hca dcp. This may take some time for large requests.
