Description: NOVA (Network Of Versatile cell-cell Analysis) is a
        high-performance R package for predicting and visualizing
        cell-to-cell communication networks from single-cell and bulk
        transcriptomic data. It leverages connectomeDB2020, the most
        comprehensive manually curated ligand-receptor interaction
        database, to identify signaling interactions between cell
        types. NOVA features vectorized computations, parallel
        processing, and seamless integration with Seurat (V4/V5) for
        efficient analysis of large-scale datasets.
