text: user900: Are there any tools that will simulate 3' end tag-based single-cell RNA-seq reads? For example, Drop-seq, 10X Chromium, CEL-seq?
  There are tools that simulate scRNA-seq gene count data (e.g. Splatter), but I can't find anything that will simulate reads or even counts at the transcript level.
  
  user900: Looks like a couple options have become available:
  Minnow: article code
  scReadSim: preprint code
