Normalization of single cell RNASeq data with ERCC spike-ins
I wish to normalize a scRNASeq dataset with respect to ERCC spike-ins, where "for some of the samples, ERCC spike-in RNA was added to the lysis buffer" and was wondering how to do so?
I have seen ...

Is it possible to use spike-ins with droplet technologies?
By reading Bacher & Kendziorski (2016), I found the following statement:
recent droplet technologies are not yet able to accommodate spike-ins
What's the reason why current droplet ...

checks for spike-in sequence controls
I would like to know what do people verify when designing/using spike-in controls, to be used in sequencing experiments (mainly Illumina). So far I came up with this list:
Does it align only to a ...
