xCell2 provides methods for cell type enrichment analysis using cell type signatures. It includes three main functions - 1. xCell2Train for training custom references objects from bulk or single-cell RNA-seq datasets. 2. xCell2Analysis for conducting the cell type enrichment analysis using the custom reference. 3. xCell2GetLineage for identifying dependencies between different cell types using ontology.
Spatial-eXpression-R (spacexr) is a package for analyzing cell types in spatial transcriptomics data. This implementation is a fork of the spacexr GitHub repo (https://github.com/dmcable/spacexr), adapted to work with Bioconductor objects. The original package implements two statistical methods: RCTD for learning cell types and CSIDE for inferring cell type-specific differential expression. Currently, this fork only implements RCTD, which learns cell type profiles from annotated RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) reference data and uses these profiles to identify cell types in spatial transcriptomic pixels while accounting for platform-specific effects. Future releases will include an implementation of CSIDE.
