Festem is a statistical method for the direct selection of cell-type markers for downstream clustering. Festem distinguishes marker genes with heterogeneous distribution across cells that are cluster informative.
For analysis codes for paper "Directly selecting differentially expressed genes for single-cell clustering analyses", see https://github.com/XiDsLab/Festem_paper.
To install Festem, start R and enter:
if (!require("pak", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("XiDsLab/Festem")
For detailed usage of Festem, please refer to our protocol at STAR Protocol.
