Mass cytometry enables the simultaneous measurement of dozens of protein markers at the single-cell level, producing high dimensional datasets that provide deep insights into cellular heterogeneity and function. However, these datasets often contain unwanted covariance introduced by technical variations, such as differences in cell size, staining efficiency, and instrument-specific artifacts, which can obscure biological signals and complicate downstream analysis. This package addresses this challenge by implementing a robust framework of linear models designed to identify and remove these sources of unwanted covariance. By systematically modeling and correcting for technical noise, the package enhances the quality and interpretability of mass cytometry data, enabling researchers to focus on biologically relevant signals.

Useful functions to visualize single cell and spatial data. It supports visualizing 'Seurat', 'SingleCellExperiment' and 'SpatialExperiment' objects through grammar of graphics syntax implemented in 'ggplot2'.
Highly multiplexed imaging acquires the single-cell expression of selected proteins in a spatially-resolved fashion. These measurements can be visualised across multiple length-scales. First, pixel-level intensities represent the spatial distributions of feature expression with highest resolution. Second, after segmentation, expression values or cell-level metadata (e.g. cell-type information) can be visualised on segmented cell areas. This package contains functions for the visualisation of multiplexed read-outs and cell-level information obtained by multiplexed imaging technologies. The main functions of this package allow 1. the visualisation of pixel-level information across multiple channels, 2. the display of cell-level information (expression and/or metadata) on segmentation masks and 3. gating and visualisation of single cells.
The scDiagnostics package provides diagnostic plots to assess the quality of cell type assignments from single cell gene expression profiles. The implemented functionality allows to assess the reliability of cell type annotations, investigate gene expression patterns, and explore relationships between different cell types in query and reference datasets allowing users to detect potential misalignments between reference and query datasets. The package also provides visualization capabilities for diagnostics purposes.
Low- and high-level wrappers for Gemma's RESTful API. They enable access to curated expression and differential expression data from over 10,000 published studies. Gemma is a web site, database and a set of tools for the meta-analysis, re-use and sharing of genomics data, currently primarily targeted at the analysis of gene expression profiles.
Builds prediction interval for cell type annotation using conformal inference and conformal risk control. It provides two main methods. The first one gives prediction intervals with coverage guarantees based on standard conformal inference. The second one instead gives hierarchical prediction intervals that are consistent with the cell ontology.
