slalom is a scalable modelling framework for single-cell RNA-seq data that uses gene set annotations to dissect single-cell transcriptome heterogeneity, thereby allowing to identify biological drivers of cell-to-cell variability and model confounding factors. The method uses Bayesian factor analysis with a latent variable model to identify active pathways (selected by the user, e.g. KEGG pathways) that explain variation in a single-cell RNA-seq dataset. This an R/C++ implementation of the f-scLVM Python package. See the publication describing the method at https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-017-1334-8.

A collection of tools for doing various analyses of single-cell RNA-seq gene expression data, with a focus on quality control and visualization.

omicsGMF is a Bioconductor package that uses the sgdGMF-framework of the \code{sgdGMF} package for highly performant and fast matrix factorization that can be used for dimensionality reduction, visualization and imputation of omics data. It considers data from the general exponential family as input, and therefore suits the use of both RNA-seq (Poisson or Negative Binomial data) and proteomics data (Gaussian data). It does not require prior transformation of counts to the log-scale, because it rather optimizes the deviances from the data family specified. Also, it allows to correct for known sample-level and feature-level covariates, therefore enabling visualization and dimensionality reduction upon batch correction. Last but not least, it deals with missing values, and allows to impute these after matrix factorization, useful for proteomics data. This Bioconductor package allows input of SummarizedExperiment, SingleCellExperiment, and QFeature classes.

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.

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.

Dino normalizes single-cell, mRNA sequencing data to correct for technical variation, particularly sequencing depth, prior to downstream analysis. The approach produces a matrix of corrected expression for which the dependency between sequencing depth and the full distribution of normalized expression; many existing methods aim to remove only the dependency between sequencing depth and the mean of the normalized expression. This is particuarly useful in the context of highly sparse datasets such as those produced by 10X genomics and other uninque molecular identifier (UMI) based microfluidics protocols for which the depth-dependent proportion of zeros in the raw expression data can otherwise present a challenge.
