SCpubr

Welcome to SCpubr

Welcome to the official documentation for SCpubr v3.0.0!

SCpubr provides a streamlined way of generating publication-ready plots for Single-Cell transcriptomics data. The goal is simple: create high-quality visualizations with minimal effort that can be used right away in your research articles.

Design philosophy

Every SCpubr function is designed so that basic usage requires only a Seurat object and, at most, a few key parameters. Sensible defaults handle the rest. When finer control is needed, each function exposes a rich set of optional parameters for advanced customization — colors, typography, legends, rasterization, and more — documented in the shared features reference.

Maintenance mode

SCpubr is now in maintenance mode — bug fixes and compatibility updates will continue, but no new features are planned. Community contributions are very welcome! See the contributing guide for how to get involved.
