Overview

The pipeline for Protein Activity Inference in Single Cells (PISCES) is a regulatory-network-based methdology for the analysis of single cell gene expression profiles.

Currently, the PISCES manuscript is available on bioRxiv: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.20.445002

NOTE: This version of the pipeline is a newer iteration, implementing new algorithms developed by the Califano lab. An updated manuscript and more robust set of vignettes for the newer iteration of the pipeline is forthcoming.

Installation

Here's how you can install the PISCES package:

# install cran packages
install.packages("abind", "BiocManager", "circlize", "cluster", "devtools", 
                 "ggplot2", "ggpubr", "ggrepel", "grDevices", "Matrix", 
                 "RColorBrewer", "RSpectra", "Seurat", "uwot")
# install bioconductor packages
BiocManager::install("biomaRt")
BiocManager::install("ComplexHeatmap")
# install PISCES
devtools::install_github("califano-lab/PISCES")

You can then learn about how to use PISCES with our vignettes:

library(PISCES)
browseVignettes(package = "PISCES")

Some other features we're working on right now: Vignette demonstating the functionality of MWKMeans for analyzing trajectories RCPP ARACNe for easier network generation
