Regress out

Regress out (mostly) unwanted sources of variation.

Info

ID: regress_out
Namespace: transform

Uses simple linear regression. This is inspired by Seurat’s regressOut function in R [Satija15]. Note that this function tends to overcorrect in certain circumstances as described in issue theislab/scanpy#526. See https://github.com/theislab/scanpy/issues/526

Example commands

You can run the pipeline using nextflow run.

View help

You can use --help as a parameter to get an overview of the possible parameters.

  -r 1.0.2 -latest \
  -main-script target/nextflow/transform/regress_out/main.nf \
  --help
