Single Cell RNA-Seq UMI Filtering Facilitator (scruff)

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.31.0

A pipeline which processes single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) reads from CEL-seq and CEL-seq2 protocols. Demultiplex scRNA-seq FASTQ files, align reads to reference genome using Rsubread, and generate UMI filtered count matrix. Also provide visualizations of read alignments and pre- and post-alignment QC metrics.
