Uncovering cell identity genes using differential stability of expression in single cells.

Cepo

Defining the identity of a cell is fundamental to understand the heterogeneity of cells to various environmental signals and perturbations. We present Cepo, a new method to explore cell identities from single-cell RNA-sequencing data using differential stability as a new metric to define cell identity genes. Cepo computes cell-type specific gene statistics pertaining to differential stable gene expression.

Installation

You can install the development version of Cepo that can be installed from GitHub using the remotes package:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("PYangLab/Cepo")

To also build the vignettes use:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("PYangLab/Cepo", dependencies = TRUE,
                         build_vignettes = TRUE)

NOTE: Building the vignettes requires the installation of additional packages.
