splatter

Simple Simulation of Single-cell RNA Sequencing Data

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.36.0

Splatter is a package for the simulation of single-cell RNA sequencing count data. It provides a simple interface for creating complex simulations that are reproducible and well-documented. Parameters can be estimated from real data and functions are provided for comparing real and simulated datasets.
