Methods for Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data Analysis

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.40.0

Implements miscellaneous functions for interpretation of single-cell RNA-seq data. Methods are provided for assignment of cell cycle phase, detection of highly variable and significantly correlated genes, identification of marker genes, and other common tasks in routine single-cell analysis workflows.
