Cell Ranger3.0, printed on 11/05/2024
In Cell Ranger 3.0, all Feature Barcode counts, including Antibody Capture counts, simply become new features in addition to the standard per-gene features, and are output alongside gene counts in the feature-barcode matrix. For every row in the Feature Barcoding Reference CSV file where feature_type
is specified as Antibody Capture
, there will be a corresponding row in the feature-barcode matrix. That row will get its title from the id
field in the Feature Reference file for that feature, and the counts can be visualized via Loupe Cell Browser by searching for the human-readable name from the name
field of the Feature Reference file (for antibody applications, the id
and name
fields can typically be the same as long as the id
is unique).
We run t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) on raw antibody counts (i.e., without prior PCA) to visualize cells in a 2-D space. This is in contrast to the gene-barcode side of the matrix, where t-SNE is run on the PCA-reduced space. For more details, see the "t-SNE" in Antibody Algorithms section.

Summary metrics for the antibody counts will be displayed on web summary under Antibody Sequencing
and Antibody Application
tabs. Any specific antibody analysis steps are described in the Antibody Algorithms section.
