Standard single-cell RNA-seq analysis pipeline. Use for QC, normalization, dimensionality reduction (PCA/UMAP/t-SNE), clustering, differential expression, visualization, and converting R-friendly single-cell formats such as Seurat or SingleCellExperiment RDS files into h5ad for Scanpy. Best for exploratory scRNA-seq analysis with established workflows. For deep learning models use scvi-tools; for data format questions use anndata.
