Normalization for Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data Analysis.

In this chapter, we describe a robust normalization method for single-cell RNA sequencing data. The procedure, SCnorm, is implemented in R and is part of Bioconductor. Also included in the package are diagnostic functions to visualize normalization performance. This chapter provides an overview of the methodology and provides example work-flows.
