Description: Cell clustering is one of the most important and commonly
        performed tasks in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data
        analysis. An important step in cell clustering is to select a
        subset of genes (referred to as “features”), whose expression
        patterns will then be used for downstream clustering. A good
        set of features should include the ones that distinguish
        different cell types, and the quality of such set could have
        significant impact on the clustering accuracy. FEAST is an R
        library for selecting most representative features before
        performing the core of scRNA-seq clustering. It can be used as
        a plug-in for the etablished clustering algorithms such as SC3,
        TSCAN, SHARP, SIMLR, and Seurat. The core of FEAST algorithm
        includes three steps: 1. consensus clustering; 2. gene-level
        significance inference; 3. validation of an optimized feature
        set.
