Single-cell transcriptome data of medullary thymic epithelial cells

Description

This document contains all the code used to analyse the single-cell RNA-seq and the bulk ATAC-seq data from the manuscript by Brennecke et al, 2015. The purpose of this package is to provide full reproducibility of the results presented in the manuscript. This package provides a documented and reproducible workflow of the code that was used to generate each number and figure from the manuscript.
