Package

singleCellTK 2.6.0

Contents

The Single Cell Toolkit (SCTK) is an interactive scRNA-Seq analysis package that allows a user to upload raw scRNA-Seq count matrices and perform downstream scRNA-Seq analysis interactively through a web interface, or through a set of R functions through the command line. The package is written in R with a graphical user interface (GUI) written in Shiny. Users can perform analysis with modules for conducting quality control, clustering, batch correction, differential expression, pathway enrichment, and sample size calculator, all in a simple to use point and click interface. The toolkit also supports command line data processing, and results can be loaded into the GUI for additional exploration and downstream analysis.
