Package: UCell Type: Package Title: Rank-based signature enrichment analysis for single-cell data Version: 2.17.0 Authors@R: c( person('Massimo', 'Andreatta', email = 'massimo.andreatta@unige.ch', role = c('aut','cre'), comment = c(ORCID = '0000-0002-8036-2647')), person('Santiago', 'Carmona', email = 'santiago.carmona@unige.ch', role = c('aut'), comment = c(ORCID = '0000-0002-2495-0671')) ) Description: UCell is a package for evaluating gene signatures in single-cell datasets. UCell signature scores, based on the Mann-Whitney U statistic, are robust to dataset size and heterogeneity, and their calculation demands less computing time and memory than other available methods, enabling the processing of large datasets in a few minutes even on machines with limited computing power. UCell can be applied to any single-cell data matrix, and includes functions to directly interact with SingleCellExperiment and Seurat objects.
