UNIFAN is an unsupervised cell type annotation tool for single-cell RNA sequencing data (scRNA-seq). Given single-cell expression data as input, UNIFAN outputs cell clusters as well as annotations for each cluster. The clustering process utilizes information on pathways and biological processes and these are also used to annotate the resulting clusters. In this software article, we focus on how to install UNIFAN and on the main steps involved in using UNIFAN for cell type annotations.
