Comparison of the bin sparsity and cell sparsity distributions. Bin sparsity QQ-plots and cell sparsity box plots of the simulated (in green) and real (in purple) scATAC-seq data are illustrated for the three benchmark datasets: Buenrostro2018, Cusanovich2018, and PBMCs. The sparsity of the synthetic data generated by simATAC (without additional Gaussian noise) closely resembles that of the corresponding real scATAC-seq input data
