netSmooth is an R package for network smoothing of single cell RNA sequencing data. Using bio networks such as protein-protein interactions as priors for gene co-expression, netsmooth improves cell type identification from noisy, sparse scRNAseq data.

Our scLANE model uses truncated power basis spline models to build flexible, interpretable models of single cell gene expression over pseudotime or latent time. The modeling architectures currently supported are Negative-binomial GLMs, GEEs, & GLMMs. Downstream analysis functionalities include model comparison, dynamic gene clustering, smoothed counts generation, gene set enrichment testing, & visualization.

ILoReg is a tool for identification of cell populations from scRNA-seq data. In particular, ILoReg is useful for finding cell populations with subtle transcriptomic differences. The method utilizes a self-supervised learning method, called Iteratitive Clustering Projection (ICP), to find cluster probabilities, which are used in noise reduction prior to PCA and the subsequent hierarchical clustering and t-SNE steps. Additionally, functions for differential expression analysis to find gene markers for the populations and gene expression visualization are provided.

Coralysis is an R package featuring a multi-level integration algorithm for sensitive integration, reference-mapping, and cell-state identification in single-cell data. The multi-level integration algorithm is inspired by the process of assembling a puzzle - where one begins by grouping pieces based on low-to high-level features, such as color and shading, before looking into shape and patterns. This approach progressively blends the batch effects and separates cell types across multiple rounds of divisive clustering.

Airpart identifies sets of genes displaying differential cell-type-specific allelic imbalance across cell types or states, utilizing single-cell allelic counts. It makes use of a generalized fused lasso with binomial observations of allelic counts to partition cell types by their allelic imbalance. Alternatively, a nonparametric method for partitioning cell types is offered. The package includes a number of visualizations and quality control functions for examining single cell allelic imbalance datasets.

SGC is a semi-supervised pipeline for gene clustering in gene co-expression networks. SGC consists of multiple novel steps that enable the computation of highly enriched modules in an unsupervised manner. But unlike all existing frameworks, it further incorporates a novel step that leverages Gene Ontology information in a semi-supervised clustering method that further improves the quality of the computed modules.
