Installation
For Python 3, we recommend that you install rnasieve
via pip
.
$ pip3 install rnasieve
Example Usage
For example usage, please reference the example Jupyter notebook for Python 3 usage, or the Mathematica notebook for Mathematica usage.
The core algorithm is called find_mixtures
/findMixtures
which takes in a vector of bulk expressions to be deconvolved and reference matrices of means, variances, and sample counts.
Currently, only the Python library takes allows for multiple bulks to be jointly deconvolved with a single set of reference matrices.
