SimBu
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.

A pipeline which processes single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) reads from CEL-seq and CEL-seq2 protocols. Demultiplex scRNA-seq FASTQ files, align reads to reference genome using Rsubread, and generate UMI filtered count matrix. Also provide visualizations of read alignments and pre- and post-alignment QC metrics.
This package serves as an upstream pipeline for pre-processing sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics data. Functions includes FASTQ trimming, BAM file reformatting, index building, spatial barcode detection, demultiplexing, gene count matrix generation with UMI deduplication, QC, and revelant visualization. Config is an essential input for most of the functions which aims to improve reproducibility.
BLASE is a method for finding where bulk RNA-seq data lies on a single-cell pseudotime trajectory. It uses a fast and understandable approach based on Spearman correlation, with bootstrapping to provide confidence. BLASE can be used to "date" bulk RNA-seq data, annotate cell types in scRNA-seq, and help correct for developmental phenotype differences in bulk RNA-seq experiments.
A package for inferring, comparing, and visualizing gene networks from single-cell RNA sequencing data. It integrates multiple methods (GENIE3, GRNBoost2, ZILGM, PCzinb, and JRF) for robust network inference, supports consensus building across methods or datasets, and provides tools for evaluating regulatory structure and community similarity. GRNBoost2 requires Python package 'arboreto' which can be installed using init_py(install_missing = TRUE). This package includes adapted functions from ZILGM (Park et al., 2021), JRF (Petralia et al., 2015), and learn2count (Nguyen et al. 2023) packages with proper attribution under GPL-2 license.
Provides functions for inferring continuous, branching lineage structures in low-dimensional data. Slingshot was designed to model developmental trajectories in single-cell RNA sequencing data and serve as a component in an analysis pipeline after dimensionality reduction and clustering. It is flexible enough to handle arbitrarily many branching events and allows for the incorporation of prior knowledge through supervised graph construction.
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.
