Learn R Programming

⚠️There's a newer version (5.0.3) of this package.Take me there.

Seurat v2.0

Seurat is an R toolkit for single cell genomics, developed and maintained by the Satija Lab at NYGC.

Instructions, documentation, and tutorials can be found at:

http://www.satijalab.org/seurat

Seurat is also hosted on GitHub, you can view and clone the repository at

https://github.com/satijalab/seurat

Seurat has been successfully installed on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows, using the devtools package to install directly from GitHub

Improvements and new features will be added on a regular basis, please contact seuratpackage@gmail.com with any questions or if you would like to contribute
