DropletUtils

DropletUtils

DropletUtils is a utility tool for the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data from droplet technologies. DropletUtils includes functions for loading, identification of empty droplets, removal of barcode-swapped pseudo-cells, and downsampling of the count matrix.
