Toolkit for Single-Cell Velocity

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.23.0

This package provides Bioconductor-friendly wrappers for RNA velocity calculations in single-cell RNA-seq data. We use the basilisk package to manage Conda environments, and the zellkonverter package to convert data structures between SingleCellExperiment (R) and AnnData (Python). The information produced by the velocity methods is stored in the various components of the SingleCellExperiment class.
