A toolkit for quality control, analysis, and exploration of single cell RNA sequencing data. 'Seurat' aims to enable users to identify and interpret sources of heterogeneity from single cell transcriptomic measurements, and to integrate diverse types of single cell data. See Satija R, Farrell J, Gennert D, et al (2015) tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1038/nbt.3192"), Macosko E, Basu A, Satija R, et al (2015) tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1016/j.cell.2015.05.002"), Stuart T, Butler A, et al (2019) tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1016/j.cell.2019.05.031"), and Hao, Hao, et al (2020) tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1101/2020.10.12.335331") for more details.
Seurat uses the following [options()] to configure behaviour:
Seurat.memsafeglobal option to call gc() after many operations. This can be helpful in cleaning up the memory status of the R session and prevent use of swap space. However, it does add to the computational overhead and setting to FALSE can speed things up if you're working in an environment where RAM availability is not a concern.
Seurat.warn.umap.uwotShow warning about the default backend
for RunUMAP changing from Python UMAP via reticulate to UWOT
Seurat.checkdotsFor functions that have ... as a parameter, this controls the behavior when an item isn't used. Can be one of warn, stop, or silent.
Seurat.limma.wilcox.msgShow message about more efficient Wilcoxon Rank Sum test available via the limma package
Seurat.Rfast2.msgShow message about more efficient Moran's I function available via the Rfast2 package
Seurat.warn.vlnplot.splitShow message about changes to default behavior of split/multi violin plots
