Single (i) Cell R package (iCellR)

iCellR is an interactive R package designed to facilitate the analysis and visualization of high-throughput single-cell sequencing data. It supports a variety of single-cell technologies, including scRNA-Seq, scVDJ-Seq, scATAC-Seq, CITE-Seq, and Spatial Transcriptomics (ST).

News (April 2021)

Use the latest version of iCellR (v1.6.4) for scATAC-seq and Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) analyses. Leverage the i.score function for scoring cells based on gene signatures using methods such as Tirosh, Mean, Sum, GSVA, ssgsea, Zscore, and Plage.

News (July 2020)

Explore iCellR version 1.5.5, now featuring tools for cell cycle analysis (phases G0, G1S, G2M, M, G1M, and S). See example phase, New Pseudotime Abstract KNetL (PAK map) functionality added – visualize pseudotime progression (PAK map). Perform gene-gene correlation analysis using updated visualization tools. correlations.

News (May 2020)

Explore the KNetL map, an advanced adjustable and dynamic dimensionality reduction method KNetL map drawing KNetL (pronounced “nettle”) offers enhanced zooming capabilities KNetL to show significantly more detail compared to tSNE and UMAP.

News (April 2020)

Introducing imputation and coverage correction (CC) methods for improved gene-gene correlation analysis. (CC). Perform batch alignment using iCellR's CPCA and CCCA tools (CCCA and CPCA) methods. Expanded databases for cell type prediction now include ImmGen and MCA.

News (Sep. 2018)

scSeqR has been renamed to iCellR, and scSeqR has been discontinued. Please use iCellR moving forward, as scSeqR is no longer supported. UMAP is added to iCellR. Interactive cell gating has been added, allowing users to select cells directly within HTML plots using Plotly.
