Single-cell architecture surgery (scArches) is a package for reference-based analysis of single-cell data.
scArches allows your single-cell query data to be analyzed by integrating it into a reference atlas. By mapping your data into an integrated reference you can transfer cell-type annotation from reference to query, identify disease states by mapping to healthy atlas, and advanced applications such as imputing missing data modalities or spatial locations.
See here for documentation and tutorials.
If you have a question or new architecture or a model that could be integrated into our pipeline, you can post an issue or reach us by email.
