title: 'NOVA: Network Of Versatile Cell-Cell Communication Analysis'
version: 1.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.NOVA
abstract: 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.
