scmap - A tool for unsupervised projection of single cell RNA-seq data
Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is widely used to investigate the composition of complex tissues1-9 since the technology allows researchers to define cell-types using unsupervised clustering of the transcriptome8,10. However, due to differences in experimental methods and computational analyses, it is often challenging to directly compare the cells identified in two different experiments. Here, we present scmap (http://bioconductor.org/packages/scmap), a method for projecting cells from a scRNA-seq experiment onto the cell-types or individual cells identified in other experiments (the application can be run for free, without restrictions, from http://www.hemberg-lab.cloud/scmap).
