Because data is stored in tools in different formats, cross-tool metrics require data normalization to make sense of it all. Moreover, unique (and unpublished) database schemas per tool require ...

The normalization of RNA-seq data is essential for accurate downstream inference, but the assumptions upon which most normalization methods are based are not applicable in the single-cell setting.
