SCnorm: robust normalization of single-cell RNA-seq data

SCnorm is an R package which can be used to normalize single-cell RNA-seq data. SCnorm is on Bioconductor and instructions for download may be found at https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SCnorm.html.

Can you use SCnorm on your 10X (or very sparse) dataset?

SCnorm is not intended for datasets with more than ~80% zero counts, often K will not converge in these situations. Setting the FilterExpression parameter to 1 or 2 may help, but is not a guarantee. It may also be helpful to use the ditherCounts = TRUE parameter for sparse UMI based data which may contain numerous tied counts (counts of 1 and 2 for example).

Additional details and a FAQ for SCnorm are described in the vignette: SCnorm Vignette

Installation

Make sure to use the latest version of SCnorm by installing it from BioConductor or GitHub.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("SCnorm")

or

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("rhondabacher/SCnorm")

To access a version of SCnorm that does not require R version >= 3.4 you can download SCnorm from the development branch here: https://github.com/rhondabacher/SCnorm/tree/devel

Latest Update: v1.5.7

Added additional warnings when using the useSpikes option and SCnorm now supports input data in the sparse matrix format.

Previous updates: v1.5.4

Allow separate normalizations for different Conditions for very large dataset. See vignette for example.
