Description

Hi @grst,

I was wondering why clonotype_imbalance is deprecated because of clonotype_modularity?

clonotype_imbalance seems to me still a very useful tool if one wants to compare how the clonal compositions differ between two populations of interest, whereas clonotype_modularity reveals how similar cells belonging to the same clone_id are in terms of their gene expression profiles.

Am I missing something?

Thanks very much,
Yuan
