Package: geneticumap Title: Evolutionary Algorithm for UMAP-based Clustering Pipeline Parameter Optimization for Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data Version: 0.99.3 Date: 2026-10-13 Authors@R: c( person("Lisa-Maria", "Winter", email = "lisa-maria-1.winter@uni-ulm.de", role = c("aut")), person("Hanna", "Wagner", email = "hanna.wagner@uni-ulm.de", role = c("aut")), person("Dominik", "Dreiheller", role = c("aut")), person("Hans A.", "Kestler", email = "hans.kestler@uni-ulm.de", role = c("cre"), comment=c(ORCID="0000-0002-4759-5254"))) Description: The geneticumap package searches for single-cell clustering parameters by treating the Seurat preprocessing and clustering workflow as an optimization problem. The UMAP-based clustering pipeline parameters for single-cell RNA-seq data (like resolution, number of PCs, or neighbor counts) evolve using an evolutionary algorithm to systematically search for an optimal set of parameters for a given dataset. The most appropriate configuration is objectively identified by the Calinski-Harabasz index. The package is developed at the [Institute of Medical Systems Biology of Ulm University](https://sysbio.uni-ulm.de).
