Chromium Single Cell Multiome ATAC + Gene Exp.

Understanding Output

Cell Ranger ARC strives to maintain compatibility with common analysis tools by using standard output file formats whenever possible. The Chromium-specific data, including cellular and molecular barcodes, can be accessed by third-party tools or scripts that can parse the additional elements utilized by Cell Ranger ARC.

All pipeline outputs are produced in a single pipeline output directory, which is specified by the --id argument for both cellranger-arc count and cellranger-arc mkfastq (defaults to the flow cell serial number, e.g., HAWT7ADXX when the --id argument is not specified).

Output files will appear in the outs/ subdirectory within this pipeline output directory. For example, a typical cellranger-arc count may look like:

$ cd /home/jdoe/runs
$ cellranger-arc count --id=sample345 \
                 --reference=/opt/refdata-cellranger-arc-GRCh38 \
                 --libraries=/home/jdoe/libraries.csv \
