switchde

An R package for detecting

switch-like differentialexpression along single-cellRNA-seq trajectories.Switchde assumes genesfollow a sigmoidal pattern ofgene expression and tests fordifferential expression using alikelihood ratio test. It alsoreturns maximum likelihoodestimates (MLE) for thesigmoid parameters, whichallows filtering of genes forup- or downregulation as wellas where along the trajectorythe regulation occurs

switchde accepts either an

SCESet from Scater [

matrix of gene expressionmeasurements. These shouldideally be in log(TPM + 1)form, but any loggednonnegative expressionmeasurements will work
