Hi there! Good question--yes, Scriabin can be used with any ligand-receptor pair database, and functions that require a ligand-receptor pair database (eg. GenerateCCIM
) will take a custom list of ligand-receptor pairs by setting database = "custom"
and passing character vectors of ligands and corresponding receptors to arguments ligands
and recepts
, respectively.
Ultimately, I have plans to automatically support standard mouse ligand-receptor databases in the package but haven't implemented this quite yet. In the meantime the approach I described above will work. I will also make sure this gets documented appropriately.
Do be aware there are caveats with using non-human data in the ligand activity predictions run by NicheNet (see https://github.com/saeyslab/nichenetr/issues/104)
I'll leave this open for the time being and circle back once I've documented as described
Thank you for the information!
Mouse datasets are now usable by setting species="mouse"
in the core functions that require a ligand-receptor database (eg. GenerateCCIM
). Please re-install and let me know if you run into any issues!
Hello! This is a very exciting project, thank you for your hard work. I wanted to ask you here since I wasn't able to find this information in the manuscript: is Scriabin usable with mouse scRNA-seq datasets?
