ZeiselNervousData: Obtain the Zeisel nervous system data

In drisso/scRNAseq: Collection of Public Single-Cell RNA-Seq Datasets

Description

Obtain the mouse nervous system single-cell RNA-seq dataset from Zeisel et al. (2018).

Usage

ZeiselNervousData(location = TRUE)

Arguments

location

Logical scalar indicating whether genomic coordinates should be returned.

Details

Row data contains the gene symbol as well as some relevant per-gene statistics, e.g., the squared coefficient of variance, mean, and whether it was selected for downstream analyses.

Column data contains a wide variety of fields including patient-level information, sample-level sequencing statistics and many flavors of cell type classification. Note that many numeric columns may have NA values if they could not be successfully parsed form the source file.

If location=TRUE, the coordinates of the Ensembl gene models are stored in the rowRanges of the output.

All data are downloaded from ExperimentHub and cached for local re-use. Specific resources can be retrieved by searching for scRNAseq/zeisel-nervous.

Value

A SingleCellExperiment object with a single matrix of UMI counts.
