Data sparsity in single-cell experiments prevents an accurate assessment of gene
expression when visualized in a low-dimensional space. Here, we introduce Nebulosa, an R
package that uses weighted kernel density estimation to recover signals lost through drop-
out or low expression. Availability and implementation Nebulosa can be easily installed from
www. github. com/powellgenomicslab/Nebulosa. Supplementary information Supplementary
data are available at Bioinformatics online.
