By conducting single-cell meta-analyses of inflammatory bowel disease, we identify rare or less-characterized cell subtypes linked to GWAS risk genes and therapeutic targets and dissect the commonalities and differences between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Consequently, we present an interactive and user-friendly platform for the research community.
