dawnn: Differential Abundance with Neural Networks

Detects regions of differential abundance in single-cell transcriptomic data by applying a pre-trained neural network model to the labels of each cell's nearest neighbours. Tests for both local and global differential abundance, controlling the false discovery rate with the Benjamini-Yekutieli procedure. The method is described in Hall and Castellano (2023) <doi:10.1101/2023.05.05.539427>.
