pyclustree 0.4.0

Visualize cluster assignments at different resolutions

pyclustree

Visualize cluster assignments at different resolutions. Possbile applications include finding the optimal resolution for single-cell RNA-sequencing clusterings.

pyclustree is inspired by the R package clustree (Github repository), however, while we aim to provide the same functionality, the API will differ between the implementations.

Getting started

Please refer to the documentation.

Installation

You need to have Python 3.10 or newer installed on your system. If you don't have Python installed, we recommend installing Mambaforge.

There are several alternative options to install pyclustree:

1. Install the latest release of pyclustree from PyPI:

pip install pyclustree

2. Install the latest development version:

pip install git+https://github.com/complextissue/pyclustree.git@dev
