  1. aNo sub-sampling
  2. bThe sub-sampling ratio in Group 2 was 0.8–0.9
  3. cThe sub-sampling ratio in Group 2 was 0.5–0.6.
  4. Bold values indicate FDR > 0.05. Bold and underlined values indicate FDR > 0.1. The nominal FDR was 0.05. Simulation based on the Memory T-cell data [8], 500 cells in each group, results are averaged over 96 replicates (see Additional file 2: Tables S5–S9 for results for other simulation scenarios). NBID_scran used the size factor computed by scran as the offset instead of the total UMI counts
