The **DropletUtils** package 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.
