dyngen
dyngen is a novel, multi-modal simulation engine for studying dynamic cellular processes at single-cell resolution. dyngen is more flexible than current single-cell simulation engines, and allows better method development and benchmarking, thereby stimulating development and testing of novel computational methods.
dyngen is now published (CC-BY,
doi:10.1038/s41467-021-24152-2).
Run citation("dyngen") to obtain the corresponding citation

Installation
dyngen should work straight out of the CRAN box by running
install.packages("dyngen"). Having said that, you should definitely
configure a few system variables for optimal speed. Check the
installation
guide for more
