Pre-clustering for major cell types #2

Closed lmweber closed 2 years ago

lmweber commented 3 years ago

Can we do a standard pre-clustering step for major cell types?

e.g. using scran::quickCluster() or standard clustering steps from OSCA.

Major cell types could then easily be included as a covariate in the model to identify non-HVG SVGs.

This requires we can easily (without tuning parameters) get a reasonable approximation for the number of "major cell types" in the dataset using the clustering on molecular profiles.
