Purpose

This package provides a very brief introduction to the use of Bioconductor packages and functions to work with single cell RNA-seq data.

Tasks in the first vignette include

  • learning about SummarizedExperiment to manage multiple samples constituting reference expression data on selected cell types
  • learning about SingleCellExperiment to work with expression patterns on thousands of cells
  • using the SingleR package and function to train a classifier of cell types and label a sample of PBMCs assayed with TENx
  • projecting expression patterns for visualization using approximate PCA
  • using plotly to visualize clusters with labels
