eds

eds provides a low-level utility for reading Alevin EDS format into R to simplify package dependency graphs for other Bioconductor packages.

Key Features:

• Single function interface: The package exports one function, readEDS, for EDS format import.
• Low-level format reader: Reads Alevin EDS format without end-user-facing functionality.
• Dependency simplification: Reduces package dependency complexity for downstream Bioconductor packages requiring EDS support.

Scientific Applications:

• Single-cell RNA-seq data import: Enables access to Alevin-generated single-cell RNA sequencing count matrices stored in EDS format within the R/Bioconductor ecosystem.
• Bioconductor package development: Supports integration of Alevin EDS format support into other Bioconductor packages without redundant dependencies.

Methodology:

The package implements a single function, readEDS, to read Alevin EDS format files into R.
