Description: Determining the sample size for adequate power to detect
        statistical significance is a crucial step at the design stage
        for high-throughput experiments. Even though a number of
        methods and tools are available for sample size calculation for
        microarray and RNA-seq in the context of differential
        expression (DE), this topic in the field of single-cell RNA
        sequencing is understudied. Moreover, the unique data
        characteristics present in scRNA-seq such as sparsity and
        heterogeneity increase the challenge. We propose POWSC, a
        simulation-based method, to provide power evaluation and sample
        size recommendation for single-cell RNA sequencing DE analysis.
        POWSC consists of a data simulator that creates realistic
        expression data, and a power assessor that provides a
        comprehensive evaluation and visualization of the power and
        sample size relationship.
