Simmethods collects and documents 49 popular and common simulation methods for single-cell and spatial transcriptome data. To satisfy user’s requirements in different scenarios, we bundled the simulators comprehensively and users can simulate many kinds of single-cell RNA-seq data (different number of groups, batches, differential expressed genes and even data with differentiation trajectory) using certain methods. If you want to learn how to use a certain simulation method, please check the following chart and commit an issue or send an Email to us when you have any question.
