Quick start to using chevreulProcess

The chevreulProcess package contains functions to preprocess, cluster, visualize, and perform other analyses on scRNA-seq data. It also contains a shiny app for easy visualization and analysis of scRNA data.

chvereul uses SingelCellExperiment (SCE) object type (from SingleCellExperiment) to store expression and other metadata from single-cell experiments.

This package features functions capable of:

• Performing Clustering at a range of resolutions and Dimensional reduction of Raw Sequencing Data.
• Visualizing scRNA data using different plotting functions.
• Integration of multiple datasets for consistent analyses.
• Cell cycle state regression and labeling.
