A user-friendly toolkit for QC, counting, clustering and plotting of single-cell (epi)genomics data

sincei: A user-friendly toolkit for QC, counting, clustering and plotting of single-cell (epi)genomics data.

Features

sincei provides a flexible, easy-to-use command-line interface to work with single-cell data directly from BAM files. It can:

• Aggregate signal in bins, genes or any feature of interest from single-cells.
• Perform read-level and count-level quality control.
• Perform dimensionality reduction and clustering of all kinds of single-cell data (open chromatin, histone marks, methylation, gene expression etc..).
• Create coverage files (bigwigs) for visualization.

For details, please read our preprint describing sincei.
