ccImpute
Dropout events make the lowly expressed genes indistinguishable from true zero expression and different than the low expression present in cells of the same type. This issue makes any subsequent downstream analysis difficult. ccImpute is an imputation algorithm that uses cell similarity established by consensus clustering to impute the most probable dropout events in the scRNA-seq datasets. ccImpute demonstrated performance which exceeds the performance of existing imputation approaches while introducing the least amount of new noise as measured by clustering performance characteristics on datasets with known cell identities.

Many modern biological datasets consist of small counts that are not well fit by standard linear-Gaussian methods such as principal component analysis. This package provides implementations of count-based feature selection and dimension reduction algorithms. These methods can be used to facilitate unsupervised analysis of any high-dimensional data such as single-cell RNA-seq.
netSmooth is an R package for network smoothing of single cell RNA sequencing data. Using bio networks such as protein-protein interactions as priors for gene co-expression, netsmooth improves cell type identification from noisy, sparse scRNAseq data.
Differential expression analysis of sequence count data. Implements a range of statistical methodology based on the negative binomial distributions, including empirical Bayes estimation, exact tests, generalized linear models, quasi-likelihood, and gene set enrichment. Can perform differential analyses of any type of omics data that produces read counts, including RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, Bisulfite-seq, SAGE, CAGE, metabolomics, or proteomics spectral counts. RNA-seq analyses can be conducted at the gene or isoform level, and tests can be conducted for differential exon or transcript usage.
ILoReg is a tool for identification of cell populations from scRNA-seq data. In particular, ILoReg is useful for finding cell populations with subtle transcriptomic differences. The method utilizes a self-supervised learning method, called Iteratitive Clustering Projection (ICP), to find cluster probabilities, which are used in noise reduction prior to PCA and the subsequent hierarchical clustering and t-SNE steps. Additionally, functions for differential expression analysis to find gene markers for the populations and gene expression visualization are provided.
Implements R bindings to C++ code for analyzing single-cell (expression) data, mostly from various libscran libraries. Each function performs an individual step in the single-cell analysis workflow, ranging from quality control to clustering and marker detection. Additional wrappers are provided for easy construction of end-to-end workflows involving Bioconductor objects like SingleCellExperiments.
Implements a general and flexible zero-inflated negative binomial model that can be used to provide a low-dimensional representations of single-cell RNA-seq data. The model accounts for zero inflation (dropouts), over-dispersion, and the count nature of the data. The model also accounts for the difference in library sizes and optionally for batch effects and/or other covariates, avoiding the need for pre-normalize the data.
