SEACells:
------
**S**ingle-c**E**ll **A**ggregation for High Resolution **Cell S**tates
#### Installation and dependencies
1. SEACells has been implemented in Python3.8 can be installed from source:
$> git clone https://github.com/dpeerlab/SEACells.git
$> cd SEACells
$> python setup.py install
2. If you are using `conda`, you can use the `environment.yaml` to create a new environment and install SEACells.
```
conda env create -n seacells --file environment.yaml
conda activate seacells
```
3. You can also use `pip` to install the requirements
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
And then follow step (1)
4. MulticoreTSNE issues can be solved using
```
conda create --name seacells -c conda-forge -c bioconda cython python=3.8
conda activate seacells
pip install git+https://github.com/settylab/Palantir@removeTSNE
git clone https://github.com/dpeerlab/SEACells.git
cd SEACells
python setup.py install
```
3. SEACells depends on a number of `python3` packages available on pypi and these dependencies are listed in `setup.py`.
All the dependencies will be automatically installed using the above commands
4. To uninstall:
$> pip uninstall SEACells
#### Usage
1. <b>ATAC preprocessing</b>:
`notebooks/ArchR` folder contains the preprocessing scripts and notebooks including peak calling using NFR fragments. See notebook [here](https://github.com/dpeerlab/SEACells/blob/main/notebooks/ArchR/ArchR-preprocessing.ipynb) to get started. A version of ArchR that supports NFR peak calling is available [here](https://github.com/dpeerlab/ArchR).
2. <b>Computing SEACells</b>:
A tutorial on SEACells usage and results visualization for single cell data can be found in the [SEACell computation notebook] (https://github.com/dpeerlab/SEACells/blob/main/notebooks/SEACell_computation.ipynb).
3. <b>Gene regulatory toolkit</b>:
Peak gene correlations, gene scores and gene accessibility scores can be computed using the [ATAC analysis notebook] (https://github.com/dpeerlab/SEACells/blob/main/notebooks/SEACell_ATAC_analysis.ipynb).
4. <b>Large-scale data integration using SEACells </b>:
Details are avaiable in the [COVID integration notebook] (https://github.com/dpeerlab/SEACells/blob/main/notebooks/SEACell_COVID_integration.ipynb)
5. <b>Cross-modality integration </b>:
Integration between scRNA and scATAC can be performed following the [Integration notebook](https://github.com/dpeerlab/SEACells/blob/main/notebooks/SEACell_domain_adapt.ipynb)
