escape

Easy single cell analysis platform for enrichment

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 2.8.0

A bridging R package to facilitate gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) in the context of single-cell RNA sequencing. Using raw count information, Seurat objects, or SingleCellExperiment format, users can perform and visualize ssGSEA, GSVA, AUCell, and UCell-based enrichment calculations across individual cells. Alternatively, escape supports use of rank-based GSEA, such as the use of differential gene expression via fgsea.
