The effect of background noise and its removal on the analysis of single-cell expression data

Abstract Background In droplet-based single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq experiments, not all reads associated with one cell barcode originate from the encapsulated cell. Such background noise is attributed to spillage from cell-free ambient RNA or barcode swapping events. Results Here, we charac...
