Description: Dino normalizes single-cell, mRNA sequencing data to
        correct for technical variation, particularly sequencing depth,
        prior to downstream analysis. The approach produces a matrix of
        corrected expression for which the dependency between
        sequencing depth and the full distribution of normalized
        expression; many existing methods aim to remove only the
        dependency between sequencing depth and the mean of the
        normalized expression. This is particuarly useful in the
        context of highly sparse datasets such as those produced by 10X
        genomics and other uninque molecular identifier (UMI) based
        microfluidics protocols for which the depth-dependent
        proportion of zeros in the raw expression data can otherwise
        present a challenge.
