1 Overview

scvi-tools is an element of the scverse toolchest for single-cell omics data analysis.

The scviR package is a very elementary approach to interfacing between R, Bioconductor and scvi-tools. The long-term plan is to illustrate several aspects of variational inference (VI) applied to single cell genomics in a way that is convenient for Bioconductor users.

The package makes use of SingleCellExperiment and anndata representations of single-cell genomic assays.

Several points should be kept in mind when using this package:

2 Installation and use

As of Feb 2023, use BiocManager to install scviR in R 4.2.2 or above:

BiocManager::install("vjcitn/scviR")

Be sure the remotes package has been installed. If you are working at a slow internet connection, it may be useful to set options(timeout=3600) when running functions
