BASiCS

BASiCS

BASiCS (Bayesian Analysis of Single-Cell Sequencing), is a tool for the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq data. The BASiCS algorithm uses a Bayesian hierarchical approach in supervised experiments. It estimates cell-specific normalization parameters from the model. It can quantify technical variability using spiking genes included in a cell's lysate, and it reports the total variability as experimental and biological components. Requires: SingleCellExperiment.
