Ensemblex: an accuracy-weighted ensemble genetic demultiplexing framework for population-scale scRNAseq sample pooling by Michael R. Fiorini, Saeid Amiri, Allison A. Dilliott, Cristine M. Yde Ohki, Lukasz Smigielski, Susanne Walitza, Edward A. Fon, Edna Grünblatt, Rhalena A. Thomas, Sali M. K. Farhan

“…Abstract Multiplexing samples from distinct individuals prior to sequencing is a promising step towards achieving population-scale single-cell RNA sequencing by reducing the restrictive costs of the technology. Individual genetic demultiplexing tools resolve the donor-of-origin identity of pooled cells using natural genetic variation but present diminished accuracy on highly multiplexed experiments, impeding the analytic potential of the dataset. …”
