  <dc:title>Flexible Integration of Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package FIRM version 0.1.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides functions for the flexible integration of heterogeneous scRNA-seq datasets across multiple tissue types, platforms, and experimental batches. Implements the method described in Ming (2022) &lt;doi:10.1093/bib/bbac167&gt;. The package incorporates modified 'C++' source code from the 'flashpca' library (Abraham, 2014-2016 &lt;https://github.com/gabraham/flashpca&gt;) for efficient principal component analysis, and the 'Spectra' library (Qiu, 2016-2025) for large-scale eigenvalue and singular value decomposition; see 'inst/COPYRIGHTS' for details on third-party code. </dc:description>
