seqgendiff

Generates/modifies RNA-seq data for use in simulations. We provide a suite of functions that will add a known amount of signal to a real RNA-seq dataset. The advantage of using this approach over simulating under a theoretical distribution is that common/annoying aspects of the data are more preserved, giving a more realistic evaluation of your method. The main functions are select_counts(), thin_diff(), thin_lib(), thin_gene(), thin_2group(), thin_all(), and effective_cor(). See Gerard (2020) doi:10.1186/s12859-020-3450-9 for details on the implemented methods.
