Cellular Research

Cellular Research, Inc. was a single-cell genomics company backed by Canaan Partners that developed molecular-indexing (its "Precise" assay) technology for high-throughput single-cell gene expression analysis. The company was acquired by Becton Dickinson (BD) in 2015 and its technology became the foundation of the BD Rhapsody single-cell analysis platform. As a life-sciences instrument and reagent company folded into BD, it exposes no independent public developer portal, API, or machine-readable API surface; this profile is retained as a portfolio-lead identity record only.

Cellular Research is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Single-Cell Genomics, Genomics, Life Sciences, and Biotechnology.
