Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Summary The 10x Genomics single cell Multiome (scMultiome) assay enables the simultaneous profiling of chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same nucleus, and has increasingly been utilized in revealing cellular heterogeneity and gene regulation in cancers. However, a dedicated bioinformatics pipeline specifically designed for this type of data is still lacking. Here we present iSHARC, a streamlined pipeline for quality control, modality integration, clustering, cell type annotation, and regulatory mechanism analysis of individual scMultiome data, as well as for integrating multiple samples. The main advantages of iSHARC are: 1) easy implementation, execution and extension through a modular Snakemake workflow management system; 2) flexible analysis and parameters customization via a single configuration file; and 3) comprehensive accessibility by providing different access points to results and detailed summary reports from a single run. Availability and implementation This pipeline is an open-source software under the MIT license and it is freely available at https://github.com/yzeng-lol/iSHARC .

Not 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.
