Hello! I am having an error while doing normalization for my scRNAseq data, I would appreciate the help of anyone who countered the same problem the error is during quickcluster command as follow:

clust <- quickCluster(sce) 
#output
Error in (function (A, nv = 5, nu = nv, maxit = 1000, work = nv + 7, reorth = TRUE,  :

Please google errors, this has been asked recently. Same error, different Bioc package, same root cause: scater runUMAP fails with error "function 'as_cholmod_sparse' not provided by package 'Matrix'"
