Identifying spatially variable genes is critical in linking molecular cell functions 
	with tissue phenotypes. This package utilizes a granularity-based dimension-agnostic tool, 
	single-cell big-small patch (scBSP), implementing sparse matrix operation and KD tree 
	methods for distance calculation, for the identification of spatially variable genes on 
	large-scale data. The detailed description of this method is available at Wang, J. 
	and Li, J. et al. 2023 (Wang, J. and Li, J. (2023), <doi:10.1038/s41467-023-43256-5>).

Provides tools to import and export from several existing pieces of ion-channel analysis software such as 'TAC', 'QUB', 'SCAN', and 'Clampfit', implements procedures such as dwell-time correction and defining bursts with a critical time, and provides tools for analysis of bursts, such as tools for sorting and plotting.

An automatic cluster-based annotation pipeline based on evidence-based score by matching the marker genes with known cell markers in tissue-specific cell taxonomy reference database for single-cell RNA-seq data. See Shao X, et al (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.isci.2020.100882> for more details.

Performing cell type annotation based on cell markers from a unified database. The approach utilizes correlation-based approach combined with association analysis using Fisher-exact and phyper statistical tests (Upton, Graham JG. (1992) <DOI:10.2307/2982890>).

An efficient implementation of SCCI using 'Rcpp'. SCCI is short for the Stochastic Complexity-based Conditional Independence criterium (Marx and Vreeken, 2019). SCCI is an asymptotically unbiased and L2 consistent estimator of (conditional) mutual information for discrete data.

Provides wrappers for 'scclust', a C library for computationally efficient
    size-constrained clustering with near-optimal performance.
    See <https://github.com/fsavje/scclust> for more information.

Core utilities for single-cell RNA-seq data analysis. Contained within are utility functions for working with differential expression (DE) matrices and count matrices, a collection of functions for manipulating and plotting data via 'ggplot2', and functions to work with cell graphs and cell embeddings. Graph-based methods include embedding kNN cell graphs into a UMAP <doi:10.21105/joss.00861>, collapsing vertices of each cluster in the graph, and propagating graph labels.
