xCell2: A Tool for Generic Cell Type Enrichment Analysis

xCell2 provides methods for cell type enrichment analysis using cell type signatures. It includes three main functions - 1. xCell2Train for training custom references objects from bulk or single-cell RNA-seq datasets. 2. xCell2Analysis for conducting the cell type enrichment analysis using the custom reference. 3. xCell2GetLineage for identifying dependencies between different cell types using ontology.
