Michaelis-Menten Modelling of Dropouts in single-cell RNASeq

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.39.0

This package fits a model to the pattern of dropouts in single-cell RNASeq data. This model is used as a null to identify significantly variable (i.e. differentially expressed) genes for use in downstream analysis, such as clustering cells. Also includes an method for calculating exact Pearson residuals in UMI-tagged data using a library-size aware negative binomial model.
