Overview

BulkSignalR is used to infer ligand-receptor (L-R) interactions from bulk expression (transcriptomics/proteomics) data, or spatial transcriptomics. Potential L-R interactions are taken from the LRdb database, which is included in our other package SingleCellSignalR, available from Bioconductor here.

Inferences rely on a statistical model linking potential L-R interactions with biological pathways from Reactome or biological processes from GO.

A number of visualization and data summary functions are proposed to help navigating the predicted interactions.
