DropletUtils

Utilities for Handling Single-Cell Droplet Data

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.32.0

Provides a number of utility functions for handling single-cell (RNA-seq) data from droplet technologies such as 10X Genomics. This includes data loading from count matrices or molecule information files, identification of cells from empty droplets, removal of barcode-swapped pseudo-cells, and downsampling of the count matrix.
