bc_get_panglaodb_marker_genes
Retrieve marker genes from the PanglaoDB dataset by specifying species, organ, cell type, gene symbol, and sensitivity/specificity thresholds, enabling precise gene analysis for human or mouse studies.
Instructions
Retrieves marker genes from the PanglaoDB dataset based on specified filters.
Args: species: The species ('Hs' for Human or 'Mm' for Mouse). min_sensitivity: Minimum sensitivity score (0-1). min_specificity: Minimum specificity score (0-1). organ: Filter by organ name (case-insensitive). cell_type: Filter by cell type name (case-insensitive). gene_symbol: Filter by gene symbol (case-insensitive).
Returns: A dictionary containing a list of matching marker gene records or an error message.
