parameters to pass to lapply, mclapply, bplapply, etc.

number of cores. If 1 core is requested, will default to lapply

n.cores

Abstracts out mclapply implementation, and defaults to lapply when only one core is requested (helps with debugging)

The scde package implements a set of statistical methods for
    analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data. scde fits individual error models for
    single-cell RNA-seq measurements. These models can then be used for assessment
    of differential expression between groups of cells, as well as other types of
    analysis. The scde package also contains the pagoda framework which applies
    pathway and gene set overdispersion analysis to identify and characterize
    putative cell subpopulations based on transcriptional signatures. The overall
    approach to the differential expression analysis is detailed in the following
    publication: "Bayesian approach to single-cell differential expression
    analysis" (Kharchenko PV, Silberstein L, Scadden DT, Nature Methods, doi:
    10.1038/nmeth.2967). The overall approach to subpopulation identification and
    characterization is detailed in the following pre-print: "Characterizing 
    transcriptional heterogeneity through pathway and gene set overdispersion 
    analysis" (Fan J, Salathia N, Liu R, Kaeser G, Yung Y, Herman J, Kaper F,
    Fan JB, Zhang K, Chun J, and Kharchenko PV, Nature Methods, doi:10.1038/nmeth.3734).
