Note: the procedure is a bit different for cases which are multiome, and the ones with paired snRNA/snATAC.
-
Annotation used is based on cohort-level merged objects:
-
For multiome objects -- They have tumor cells annotated same in RNA/ATAC assays, same barcodes, so we use only Tumor cells that are annotated as Tumor in both RNA and ATAC assays.
-
For paired snRNA/snATAC -- We subtract separately tumor cells using snRNA and snATAC annotations respectively, because different barcodes in two objects.
-
-
Identification of manual clusters (need to have same cluster labels between snRNA/snATAC assays):
-
For multiome -- They are identified using joint wnn clustering, that is based on both snRNA and snATAC assays.
-
For separate snRNA/snATAC - We re-assign clusters manually in snRNA object, and then perform label transfer procedure of cluster labels, and assign clusters in snATAC based on snRNA cluster labels if >X % of cells were labeled of any particular cluster.
