Description: UCell is a package for evaluating gene signatures in
        single-cell datasets. UCell signature scores, based on the
        Mann-Whitney U statistic, are robust to dataset size and
        heterogeneity, and their calculation demands less computing
        time and memory than other available methods, enabling the
        processing of large datasets in a few minutes even on machines
        with limited computing power. UCell can be applied to any
        single-cell data matrix, and includes functions to directly
        interact with SingleCellExperiment and Seurat objects.
