What it does
Seurat is a toolkit for quality control, analysis, and exploration of single cell RNA sequencing data. It is developed and maintained by the Satija Lab at NYGC. 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.
Read expression data from a tabular file or a 10x-Genomics-formatted mtx directory (`read_10x_mtx`)
For mtx, the directory should contain:
- Raw expression quantification as a sparse matrix in Matrix Market format, where the each column is a gene and each row is a barcode/cell.
- A gene table of at least two columns where the first column gives the gene IDs.
- A barcode/cell table of at least one column giving the barcode/cell IDs.
The above-mentioned files can be obtained by running EBI SCXA Data Retrieval with a dataset accession. Otherwise, they need to be provided as separate Galaxy datasets.
- Inputs
- A tabular file of expression data OR
- Raw expression quantification as a sparse matrix in Matrix Market format, where the each column is a gene and each row is a barcode/cell.
- A gene table of at least two columns where the first column gives the gene IDs.
- A barcode/cell table of at least one column giving the barcode/cell IDs.
- Optionally, a file with cell metadata.
- Outputs
- R object for Seurat
