  Estimation'
version: 0.2.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.scaper
abstract: 'Generates cell-level cytokine activity estimates using relevant information
  from gene sets constructed with the ''CytoSig'' and the ''Reactome'' databases and
  scored using the modified ''Variance-adjusted Mahalanobis (VAM)'' framework for
  single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. ''CytoSig'' database is described in:
  Jiang at al., (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-021-01274-5>. ''Reactome''
  database is described in: Gillespie et al., (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkab1028>.
  The ''VAM'' method is outlined in: Frost (2020) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkaa582>.'
