Differential state analysis of scRNA-seq data with Muscat - April 15, 2025
This workshop explored single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis using the R package "muscat" (multi-sample multi-group scRNA-seq analysis tools). Learn about various methods and visualization tools for DS analysis in scRNA-seq data, including cell-level mixed models and methods, as well as a flexible simulation platform.
For the workshop, core packages below were used:
- tidyverse
- patchwork
- UpSetR
- bioconductor
- ExperimentHub
- limma
- muscData
- muscat
- scater
