ondisc
: large-scale computing on single-cell data Single-cell datasets are growing in size, posing challenges as well as opportunities to biology researchers. ondisc
(short for “on-disk single cell”) is an R package that enables users to easily and efficiently analyze large-scale single-cell data. ondisc
makes computing on large-scale single-cell data FUN:
ondisc
is powered by several novel, highly efficient algorithms and data structures. All low-level code is written in C++ or C for maximum performance.ondisc
runs on all platforms, from laptops to supercomputers. ondisc
works seamlessly when the size of the data exceeds the amount of available memory.ondisc
leverages ideas from functional programming, making it simple for R users users to pick up and incorporate into their programs.Take a look at the tutorials on the package website.
