SlimR - Adaptive Machine Learning-Powered, Context-Matching Tool for Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Annotation

Annotates single-cell and spatial-transcriptomic (ST) data using context-matching marker datasets. It creates a unified marker list (`Markers_list`) from multiple sources: built-in curated databases ('Cellmarker2', 'PanglaoDB', 'ScType', 'scIBD', 'TCellSI', 'PCTIT', 'PCTAM'), Seurat objects with cell labels, or user-provided Excel tables. SlimR first uses adaptive machine learning for parameter optimization, and then offers two automated annotation approaches: 'cluster-based' and 'per-cell'. Cluster-based annotation assigns one label per cluster, expression-based probability calculation, and AUC validation. Per-cell annotation assigns labels to individual cells using three scoring methods with adaptive thresholds and ratio-based confidence filtering, plus optional UMAP spatial smoothing, making it ideal for heterogeneous clusters and rare cell types. The package also supports semi-automated workflows with heatmaps, feature plots, and combined visualizations for manual annotation.

scPairs - Identifying Synergistic Gene Pairs in Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics

Discovers synergistic gene pairs in single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics data. Unlike conventional pairwise co-expression analyses that rely on a single correlation metric, scPairs integrates 14 complementary metrics across five orthogonal evidence layers to compute a composite synergy score with optional permutation-based significance testing. The five evidence layers span cell-level co-expression (Pearson, Spearman, biweight midcorrelation, mutual information, ratio consistency), neighbourhood-aware smoothing (KNN-smoothed correlation, neighbourhood co-expression, cluster pseudo-bulk, cross-cell-type, neighbourhood synergy), prior biological knowledge (GO/KEGG co-annotation Jaccard, pathway bridge score), trans-cellular interaction, and spatial co-variation (Lee's L, co-location quotient). This multi-scale design enables researchers to move beyond simple co-expression towards a comprehensive characterisation of cooperative gene regulation at transcriptomic and spatial resolution. For more information, see the package documentation at <https://github.com/zhaoqing-wang/scPairs>.
