Summary Metrics

The cellranger-atac count pipeline outputs summary.csv which contains a number of key metrics in text, csv format. Below are the definitions of the reported metrics. When the metric is species specific, a value is reported for each species in multi-species experiments. When a metric is not computed by the pipeline, likely because of insufficient information or divison by zero, it is not reported in the summary.csv.

MetricDescriptionIs Species Specific

median_per_cell_total_library_complexityEstimated median per cell library complexity.False
median_per_cell_unique_fragments_at_50000_RRPCMedian unique fragments per cell after downsampling to 50K raw reads per cell.True
