Getting hierarchy of cell populations with Drop-seq data I plan on collecting some drop-seq data from brain tissue (from mice and humans). Using only the 75-85% of genes that have 1:1 orthology between mice and humans, I'd like to cluster the cells by transcriptomic similarity and get a dendrogram to use for cell type classification. There are tons of tools for processing and clustering single cell RNA-seq data (https://www.scrna-tools.org/tools), but I get the impression that most of them were not designed with Drop-seq in mind. Anyone have any insight into the pros and cons of the best tools for Drop-seq analysis?
This article uses the freely available R package dropbead for filtering and then Seurat to perform a principal component analysis that groups together affine transcriptomes. It could be what you are looking for.
