TitleCellCoal
Short DescriptionCellCoal: Coalescent Simulation of Single-Cell Sequencing Samples
Long DescriptionCellCoal simulates the somatic evolution of single-cells. CellCoal generates a coalescent genealogy for a sample of somatic cells –no recombination– obtained from a growing population, together with a another cell as outgroup, introduces mutations along this genealogy, and produces single-cell diploid genotypes (single-nucleotide variants or SNVs). CellCoal implements multiple mutations models (0/1, DNA, infinite and finite site models, deletion, copy-neutral LOH, 30 cancer signatures) and is able to generate read counts and genotype likelihoods considering allelic dropout, sequencing and amplification error, plus doublet cells.
