SimBu

Simulate Bulk RNA-seq Datasets from Single-Cell Datasets

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.14.0

SimBu can be used to simulate bulk RNA-seq datasets with known cell type fractions. You can either use your own single-cell study for the simulation or the sfaira database. Different pre-defined simulation scenarios exist, as are options to run custom simulations. Additionally, expression values can be adapted by adding an mRNA bias, which produces more biologically relevant simulations.
