PopComm: Population-Level Cell-Cell Communication Analysis Tools

Facilitates population-level analysis of ligand-receptor (LR) interactions using large-scale single-cell transcriptomic data. Identifies significant LR pairs and quantifies their interactions through correlation-based filtering and projection score computations. Designed for large-sample single-cell studies, the package employs statistical modeling, including linear regression, to investigate LR relationships between cell types. It provides a systematic framework for understanding cell-cell communication, uncovering regulatory interactions and signaling mechanisms. Offers tools for LR pair-level, sample-level, and differential interaction analyses, with comprehensive visualization support to aid biological interpretation. The methodology is described in a manuscript currently under review and will be referenced here once published or publicly available.
