This is the development version of scBatchQC; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.

Batch-Aware Cell Quality Control for Single-Cell RNA-seq


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

scBatchQC provides a hierarchical empirical Bayes framework for quality control in multi-sample, multi-batch single-cell RNA-seq experiments. Unlike per-sample QC tools, scBatchQC jointly models QC metric distributions (library size, gene count, mitochondrial fraction) and doublet rates across batches, enabling calibrated cell-level QC calls that account for batch structure. The package operates natively on SingleCellExperiment objects and returns augmented colData with per-cell QC flags and batch-adjusted doublet scores.
