Due to an updated version of SCTransform (‘v2’) function, we should run PrepSCTFindMarkers() before running FindMarkers(). So, we updated the corresponding R code (using_example.ipynb). 2022-08-22

Welcome! This is the documentation for PlantPhoneDB (see in detail), a manually curated pan-plant database of ligand-receptor pairs infers cell-cell communication. The web server address is https://jasonxu.shinyapps.io/PlantPhoneDB/

To install it, the easiest way is to use the R package devtools and its function install_github. If you don't have all the dependancies needed to use PlantPhoneDB package, run the commands below:

install.packages(c("devtools", "Seurat", "tidyverse", "ggplot2", "ggsci", "pheatmap", "ggpubr", "RColorBrewer", "patchwork", "lsa", "viridis", "hrbrthemes", "circlize", "chorddiag", "ggplotify", "data.table", "parmigene", "infotheo", "igraph", "cowplot", "grid", "dplyr")) ##Installs devtools and the PlantPhoneDB CRAN dependancies

Then you just have to load devtools package and run the command below:

library(devtools)
install_github("Jasonxu0109/PlantPhoneDB")

Once all the dependencies are downloaded and loaded, you can load the ‘PlantPhoneDB’ package.
Examples on how to use PlantPhoneDB package functions can be found as below:

Case1.ipynb was used to infer cell-cell communications from scRNA-seq datasets processed by using_example.ipynb .
