scDesign2: a transparent simulator that generates high-fidelity single-cell gene expression count data with gene correlations captured

Abstract A pressing challenge in single-cell transcriptomics is to benchmark experimental protocols and computational methods. A solution is to use computational simulators, but existing simulators cannot simultaneously achieve three goals: preserving genes, capturing gene correlations, and generati...
