New preprint! So excited to present CHOIR, a new clustering method for single-cell data that evaluates whether clusters represent statistically distinct cell populations. CHOIR works with both single- and multi-omic data of any type. Check it out!

CHOIR is available as an R package and is compatible with Seurat, SingleCellExperiment, and ArchR input objects. You can find documentation and a detailed tutorial on our website:

I've absolutely loved working on this tool and am so thankful for the mentorship of @doctorcorces, and for everyone who provided early suggestions and beta-testing. The code for CHOIR is open source and we welcome feedback!

@cathrinepet Congrats, awesome work!

@cathrinepet Congratulations! How scalable the tool is?

Thanks! It scales approx. linearly with the number of cells. CHOIR can be run on a normal laptop but it's highly parallelized, so efficiency improves a lot with more cores. I've found that data up to 500K cells runs in a few hours, and our goal is for 1M+ cells to run overnight!

@cathrinepet Any plan for Python?

Not at the moment!

@cathrinepet Congratulations 🎊

@cathrinepet Looks like a great package! Is it possible to get marker genes out of the RF models as well?

Yes! CHOIR can collect the feature importances from the RFs in each pairwise cluster comparison, and we show in the preprint that these correlate well with the log fold change (absolute value) of gene expression between the clusters. The most "important" features are the top DEGs
