Obtain the human embryonic stem cell single-cell RNA-seq data from Messmer et al. (2019).

1	MessmerESCData(location = TRUE)

location

Logical scalar indicating whether genomic coordinates should be returned.

Row data contains a single "Length" field describing the total exonic length of each feature.

Column metadata is provided in the same form as supplied in E-MTAB-6819. This contains information such as the cell phenotype (naive or primed) and the batch of origin. Note that counts for technical replicates have already been summed together.

Count data for ERCC spike-ins are stored in the "ERCC" entry of the altExps.

If location=TRUE, the coordinates of the Ensembl gene models are stored in the rowRanges of the output.

All data are downloaded from ExperimentHub and cached for local re-use. Specific resources can be retrieved by searching for scRNAseq/messmer-esc.

A SingleCellExperiment object with a single matrix of read counts.
