CellWindX - Marker Gene Analysis and Visualization for Single-Cell Data
Provides a 'Seurat'-compatible toolkit for marker gene
identification, expression summarization, and visualization of
annotated single-cell transcriptomic data. 'CellWindX'
identifies top cell-type-enriched markers, calculates marker
expression percentages and average expression values across
cell groups, and generates publication-oriented dimensional
reduction plots, marker heatmaps, and gene-level radar plots.
The package includes built-in aesthetic palettes and supports
both exploratory analysis and downstream figure preparation for
single-cell atlas studies. The workflow is designed to
complement single-cell analysis frameworks such as 'Seurat'
described by Satija et al. (2015) <doi:10.1038/nbt.3192> and
Hao et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.cell.2021.04.048>, as well as
heatmap visualization methods implemented in 'ComplexHeatmap'
described by Gu et al. (2016)
<doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw313>.
