**_netSmooth_: A Network smoothing based method for single cell RNA-seq**
-----
_netSmooth_ is an R package for network smoothing of single cell RNA sequencing data. Using gene interaction networks such as protein-
protein interactions as priors for gene co-expression, _netsmooth_ improves cell type identification from noisy, sparse scRNA-seq data.
The smoothing method is suitable for other gene-based omics data sets such as proteomics, copy-number variation, etc.

The algorithm uses a network-diffusion based approach which takes in a network (such as PPI network) and gene-expression matrix. The gene
expression values in the matrix are smoothed using the interaction information in the network. The network-smoothing parameter is
optimized using a robust clustering approach.

For a detailed exposition, check out [our paper on F1000Research](https://f1000research.com/articles/7-8/v2).

### Installation

_netSmooth_ is available via Bioconductor:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("netSmooth")

Alternatively, using `devtools`:

library(devtools)
install_github("BIMSBbioinfo/netSmooth")

### Usage
For detailed usage information see [the vignette](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/BIMSBbioinfo/netSmooth/blob/master/vignettes/netSmoothIntro.html). In addition,
the R package has full function documentation with examples.
