Installation

For Python 3, we recommend that you install rnasieve via pip.

$ pip3 install rnasieve

Example Usage

muscle-FD-example

For example usage, please reference the example Jupyter notebook for Python 3 usage, or the Mathematica notebook for Mathematica usage.

The core algorithm is called find_mixtures/findMixtures which takes in a vector of bulk expressions to be deconvolved and reference matrices of means, variances, and sample counts. Currently, only the Python library takes allows for multiple bulks to be jointly deconvolved with a single set of reference matrices.
