viewmastR is a R framework for genomic cell type classification using the Burn machine learning library and its modules. viewmastR is a very flexible and customizable platform for labelling cell types in your data

The main features of viewmastR are:

  • Use a blazingly fast machine learning approach to cell classification according to a reference dataset
  • Augment data for rare cell types
  • Classify single cell profiles according to a reference of bulk data

Installation

First you need to have an updated Rust installation. Go to this site to learn how to install Rust.

To install development version of viewmastR:

remotes::install_github("furlan-lab/viewmastR")

How to start

We have a few vignettes for

  • vignette("HowTo") to explore the basics of the package.
  • vignette("Augment") to explore data augmentation
  • vignette("BulkClassify") to see how to use a bulk dataset to classify single-cell profiles

License

viewmastR has a dependency on Burn, an open source Rust machine learning library. viewmastR itself is written with an MIT license.
