The primary analysis output of Cell Ranger is a gene-barcode matrix. Cell Ranger R Kit is an R package for simple secondary analysis of this matrix data, including PCA and t-SNE projection, and k-means clustering. R is a programming language widely used for data analysis and visualization in statistics and computational biology.
To get started with secondary analysis using Cell Ranger R Kit, you will need to install or already have access to R. Optionally, you may also install a graphical development environment such as RStudio. Follow the steps below to install R, RStudio, and Cell Ranger R Kit.
R version 3.1 or greater is required for Cell Ranger R Kit and its dependencies.
Note for macOS: If you do not already have X11 installed in Applications > X11, download and install it.
RStudio is a graphical development environment you can use as an alternative to command line R. RStudio requires R to be installed.
Install Cell Ranger R Kit by running the following command in R. This script automatically downloads and installs the package and all of its dependencies.
> source("https://cf.10xgenomics.com/supp/cell-exp/rkit-install-2.0.0.R")
Once R Kit is successfully installed, confirm that you can load the cellrangerRkit library in R.
> library(cellrangerRkit) > packageVersion("cellrangerRkit") [1] '2.0.0'
After successful installation, you can learn how to use R Kit to analyze Cell Ranger data with the following tutorials, also called "R vignettes":
