BISCUIT

BISCUIT

BISCUIT is an R tool to normalize and cluster single-cell RNA-seq data. The BISCUIT algorithm uses a hierarchical Bayesian mixture model that scales related to each cell, facilitating iterative normalization and clustering of cells, and reduces experimental variation. The algorithm also applies a scalable Gibbs inference algorithm to enhance the deduction of cluster building.
