Model-based analysis of sample index hopping reveals its widespread artifacts in multiplexed single-cell RNA-sequencing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Supplementary data that are needed to rerun the reproducible notebooks from the first steps using Alevin output and configuration files. Intermediate R data object that can be used to rerun the reproducible notebooks after the filtering steps. Validation data for inferring the sample index hopping rate. The hiseq4000_joined_datatable_plexed_nonplexed.zip file contains read counts for four samples (two non-multiplexed and two multiplexed) joined by a cell-barcode, UMI, and gene-ID (CUG) key combination. The hiseq4000_inner_joined_with_labels.zip file contains only those CUGs that are observed in both the non-multiplexed and multiplexed samples.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
