CCPlotR: an R package for the visualization of cell–cell interactions

SUMMARY: We present CCPlotR—an R package that generates visualizations of cell–cell interactions. CCPlotR is designed to work with the output of tools that predict cell–cell interactions from single-cell gene expression data and requires only a table of predicted interactions as input. The package can generate a comprehensive set of publication-ready figures such as heatmaps, dotplots, circos plots and network diagrams, providing a useful resource for researchers working on cell–cell interactions. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: CCPlotR is available to download and install from GitHub (https://github.com/Sarah145/CCPlotR) and comes with a toy dataset to demonstrate the different functions. Support for users will be provided via the GitHub issues tracker (https://github.com/Sarah145/CCPlotR/issues).
