SPsimSeq: Semi-parametric simulation tool for bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data

SPsimSeq uses a specially designed exponential family for density estimation to constructs the distribution of gene expression levels from a given real RNA sequencing data (single-cell or bulk), and subsequently simulates a new dataset from the estimated marginal distributions using Gaussian-copulas to retain the dependence between genes. It allows simulation of multiple groups and batches with any required sample size and library size.
