RaceID (version 0.4.2)

Identification of Cell Types, Inference of Lineage Trees, and Prediction of Noise Dynamics from Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data

Description

Application of 'RaceID' allows inference of cell types and prediction of lineage trees by the 'StemID2' algorithm (Herman, J.S., Sagar, Grun D. (2018) ). 'VarID2' is part of this package and allows quantification of biological gene expression noise at single-cell resolution (Rosales-Alvarez, R.E., Rettkowski, J., Herman, J.S., Dumbovic, G., Cabezas-Wallscheid, N., Grun, D. (2023) ).
