SingleCellExperiment

S4 Classes for Single Cell Data

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.34.0

Defines a S4 class for storing data from single-cell experiments. This includes specialized methods to store and retrieve spike-in information, dimensionality reduction coordinates and size factors for each cell, along with the usual metadata for genes and libraries.
