CellRank has a modular API, organized around kernels and estimators:

  • Kernels compute cell-cell transition matrices using various input data modalities, including RNA velocity, any pseudotime, a developmental potential, experimental time points, and more.

  • Estimators use the cell-cell transition matrix to derive insights about cellular dynamics, for example, they compute initial and terminal states, fate probabilities, and driver genes. Our recommended estimator is cellrank.estimators.GPCCA.

  • In addition, there are models for gene trend fitting, plotting functions for visualization, and datasets that help you getting started with CellRank.
