TreeSummarizedExperiment

TreeSummarizedExperiment extends SingleCellExperiment to include hierarchical information on the rows or columns of rectangular data.

Key Features:

• Tree Structure Integration: Incorporates hierarchical tree structures alongside rectangular data matrices.
• SingleCellExperiment Extension: Builds upon the SingleCellExperiment S4 class framework.
• Flexible Axis Annotation: Supports hierarchical information on either rows or columns of the data.

Scientific Applications:

• Hierarchical Data Representation: Enables storage and analysis of data with inherent tree-based relationships, such as phylogenetic or taxonomic structures.

Methodology:

Implements an S4 class that extends SingleCellExperiment with tree structures for row or column annotations.
