SCENIC
SCENIC (Single-Cell rEgulatory Network Inference and Clustering) is a computational method to infer Gene Regulatory Networks and cell types from single-cell RNA-seq data.
The description of the method and some usage examples are available in Nature Methods (2017).
There are currently implementations of SCENIC in R (this repository), in Python (pySCENIC), as well as wrappers to automate analyses with Nextflow (VSN-pipelines).
The output from any of the implementations can be explored either in R, Python or SCope (a web interface).
Tutorials
If you have access to Nextflow and a container system (e.g. Docker or Singularity), we recommend to run SCENIC through the VSN-pipeline.
This option is specially useful for running SCENIC on large datasets, or in batch on multiple samples.
If you prefer to use R for the whole analysis, these are the main tutorials:
The tutorials in R include a more detailed explanation of the workflow and source code.
- Introduction and setup
- Running SCENIC
- The output from these examples is available at: https://scenic.aertslab.org/scenic_paper/examples/
Python/Jupyter notebooks with examples running SCENIC in different settings are available in the SCENIC protocol repository.
