Usage

RunCellChat(
  srt,
  group.by,
  species = c("Homo_sapiens", "Mus_musculus", "zebrafish"),
  split.by = NULL,
  annotation_selected = NULL,
  group_column = NULL,
  group_cmp = NULL,
  thresh = 0.05,
  min.cells = 10,
  assay = NULL,
  layer = "data",
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

srt

A Seurat object.

group.by

Name of one or more meta.data columns to group (color) cells by.

species

The species of the data, either "Homo_sapiens", "Mus_musculus", or "zebrafish".

split.by

Name of a column in meta.data column to split plot by. Default is NULL.

annotation_selected

A vector of cell annotations of interest for running the CellChat analysis. If not provided, all cell types will be considered.

group_column

Name of the metadata column in the Seurat object that defines conditions or groups.

group_cmp

A list of pairwise condition comparisons for differential CellChat analysis.

thresh

The threshold for computing centrality scores. Default is 0.05.

min.cells

the minmum number of expressed cells required for the genes that are considered for cell-cell communication analysis. Default is 10.

assay

Which assay to use. If NULL, the default assay of the Seurat object will be used.

layer

The layer to use for the expression data. Default is "data".

verbose

Whether to print the message. Default is TRUE.

Value

A Seurat object with CellChat results stored in srt@tools[["CellChat"]].
