&lt;p>&lt;code>celliverse&lt;/code> provides an integrated framework for single-cell RNA-seq analysis with a focus on data-driven clustering, marker discovery, marker assessment and cell type annotation. Its methods use cell-intrinsic expression organisation to support robust characterisation of cellular populations while remaining practical within common single-cell workflows.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The package includes &lt;strong>ClustoCell&lt;/strong> for unsupervised cell clustering and sub-clustering, tools for positive and negative marker discovery, marker purity assessment, dataset-level feature selection, label transfer and annotation workflows. It also provides &lt;strong>CelliVerse MarkerDB&lt;/strong>, a curated marker resource containing positive and negative markers for human and mouse cell types.&lt;/p>

&lt;p>ClustoCell is a reference-independent framework for resolving cell types and states from single-cell transcriptomes by modelling cellular relationships using cell-intrinsic expression organisation rather than relying on global transcriptional variance or external reference labels.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>ClustoCell stratifies expression within each cell and uses this structure to build cell-similarity graphs, identify biologically coherent populations, discover cluster-specific markers and optionally resolve sub-clusters. It is implemented in the &lt;strong>CelliVerse&lt;/strong> R package and is designed to support the recovery of stable cellular communities, rare or transitional states, and malignant versus non-malignant populations.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Beyond clustering, the broader CelliVerse workflow connects ClustoCell results to marker assessment, feature selection and cell type annotation, including annotation with CelliVerse MarkerDB.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
