In cit-bioinfo/mMCP-counter: Murine Microenvironment Cell Population counter

mMCP-counter

Murine version of MCP-counter, a tool to estimate the immune and stromal composition of heterogeneous tissue, from transcriptomic data. It is distributed as a R package.

Installation

In a R session, install from the GitHub repository using devtools:

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("cit-bioinfo/mMCP-counter")

Usage

The mMCP-counter package exports one function, mMCPcounter.estimate. To use it:

library("mMCPcounter")
mMCPcounter.estimate(expressionData, features = c("Gene.Symbol","ENSEMBL.ID","Probes")[1], genomeVersion = c("GCRm38","GCRm39")[2])

For more details, please refer to:

?mMCPcounter::mMCPcounter.estimate
