Defining the identity of a cell is fundamental to understand the heterogeneity of cells to various environmental signals and perturbations. We present Cepo, a new method to explore cell identities from single-cell RNA-sequencing data using differential stability as a new metric to define cell identity genes. Cepo computes cell-type specific gene statistics pertaining to differential stable gene expression.
You can install the development version of Cepo that can be installed
from GitHub using the remotes package:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("PYangLab/Cepo")To also build the vignettes use:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("PYangLab/Cepo", dependencies = TRUE,
build_vignettes = TRUE)NOTE: Building the vignettes requires the installation of additional packages.
The documentation for Cepo is available from http://github.com/PYangLab/Cepo
To view the vignette and all the package documentation for the development version visit http://github.com/PYangLab/Cepo.
