Secondary Analysis in R

As previously described, the feature-barcode matrices can be readily loaded into R to enable a wide variety of custom analyses using this languages packages and tools.

Third-Party Analysis Packages

The bioinformatics community is actively developing software to analyze Chromium Single Cell data. See below for some featured examples. These packages are not supported by 10x Genomics.

Seurat by the Satija Lab at New York Genome Center

Seurat 3.0 is specifically designed to handle the type of multi-data experiments enabled by Feature Barcoding technology, and can also read the latest output file produced by Cell Ranger 3.0. Note that Seurat versions below 3.0 do not support reading the new output files produced by Cell Ranger 3.0.

• Link with information how to download, install and use Seurat 3.0.
• See the tutorial named "Unsupervised identification of immune cell types and biomarkers from 2,700 PMBCs (10X Chromium)" at the Seurat website.
• Additional Seurat R tutorial script for the PBMC 33,000 Cell Dataset

Bioconductor

Bioconductor provides tools for the analysis and comprehension of high-throughput genomic data using R, including data produced by 10X Genomics technology.
