Abstract

This study introduces easySCF, a tool designed to enhance the interoperability of single-cell data between the two major bioinformatics platforms, R and Python. By supporting seamless data exchange, easySCF improves the efficiency and accuracy of single-cell data analysis. easySCF utilizes a unified data format (.h5 format) to facilitate data transfer between R and Python platforms. The tool has been evaluated for data processing speed, memory efficiency, and disk usage, as well as its capability to handle large-scale single-cell datasets. easySCF is available as an open-source package, with implementation details and documentation accessible at https://github.com/xleizi/easySCF.
