With cellxgene.census
in a few seconds users can access any slice of Census data using cell or gene filters across hundreds of datasets. The data can be fetched in an iterative fashion for bigger-than-memory slices of data, or quickly exported to basic R structures, and Seurat or SingleCellExperiment for downstream analysis.

The cellxgene.census
package relies on TileDB-SOMA R’s package tiledbsoma
for all of its data access capabilities as shown in the next section.
CZI and TileDB have worked closely on the development of tiledbsoma
and recently upgraded it from beta to its first stable version. Release notes can be found here.

Census hosts ever-growing data releases from CZ CELLxGENE Discover, representing the largest aggregation of standardized single-cell data.
Census data are accompanied by cell and gene metadata that have been standardized on ontologies across all datasets hosted in CZ CELLxGENE Discover. For example all cell types and tissues have been mapped to a value of the CL and UBERON ontologies, respectively. You can find more about the data in the Census data and schema page.
With the cellxgene.census
R package, researchers can have access to all of these data and metadata directly from an R session with the following capabilities:
