RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Assessment of single cell RNA-seq normalization methods JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 064329 DO 10.1101/064329 A1 Bo Ding A1 Lina Zheng A1 Wei Wang YR 2016 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/07/17/064329.abstract AB We have assessed the performance of seven normalization methods for single cell RNA-seq using data generated from dilution of RNA samples. Our analyses showed that methods considering spike-in ERCC RNA molecules significantly outperformed those not considering ERCCs. This work provides a guidance of selecting normalization methods to remove technical noise in single cell RNA-seq data.
