Calculates correlation between single-cell gene expression and in situ hybridization data of the developing mouse brain from the Allen Brain Atlas.

  groups = NULL,
  method = "pearson",
  genes_use = NULL,
  allow_neg = FALSE,
  pseudobulk_groups = TRUE

Arguments

stage

The developmental stage in the ABA to map single cells to.

groups

A character or factor vector or for grouping of cells, e.g. clusters, cell types.

method

A character string indicating which correlation coefficient to compute.

genes_use

A character vector with genes to use for computing the correlation. We recommend to use 150 - 500 genes.

allow_neg

Logical. Whether to allow negative correlations or set them to 0.

pseudobulk_groups

Logical. Whether to summarizse the group expression before computing the correlation.

group_name

A string indicating the metadata column for grouping the cells, e.g. clusters, cell types.

Value

A VoxelMap object with a cell x voxel correlation matrix and metadata.
