Package: CHETAH Title: Fast and accurate scRNA-seq cell type identification Type: Package Version: 1.29.0 Date: 2025-10-14 Authors@R: c(person("Jurrian", "de Kanter", email = "jurriandekanter@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre")), person("Philip", "Lijnzaad", email = "p.lijnzaad@prinsesmaximacentrum.nl", role = c("aut"))) Description: CHETAH (CHaracterization of cEll Types Aided by Hierarchical classification) is an accurate, selective and fast scRNA-seq classifier. Classification is guided by a reference dataset, preferentially also a scRNA-seq dataset. By hierarchical clustering of the reference data, CHETAH creates a classification tree that enables a step-wise, top-to-bottom classification. Using a novel stopping rule, CHETAH classifies the input cells to the cell types of the references and to "intermediate types": more general classifications that ended in an intermediate node of the tree.
