SlimR
Annotates single-cell and spatial-transcriptomic (ST) data using context-matching marker datasets. It creates a unified marker list (‘Markers_list') from multiple sources: built-in curated databases (’Cellmarker2', 'PanglaoDB', 'ScType', 'CellTypist', 'scIBD', 'TCellSI', 'PCTIT', 'PCTAM'), Seurat objects with cell labels, or user-provided Excel tables. SlimR first uses adaptive machine learning for parameter optimization, and then offers two automated annotation approaches: 'cluster-based' and 'per-cell'. Cluster-based annotation assigns one label per cluster, expression-based probability calculation, and AUC validation. Per-cell annotation assigns labels to individual cells using three scoring methods with adaptive thresholds and ratio-based confidence filtering, plus optional UMAP spatial smoothing, making it ideal for heterogeneous clusters and rare cell types. The package also supports semi-automated workflows with heatmaps, feature plots, and combined visualizations for manual annotation.
