<p>This page includes the data and code necessary to reproduce the results of the following paper:</p>
<p>Yang Liao, Dinesh Raghu, Bhupinder Pal, Lisa Mielke and Wei Shi. cellCounts: fast and accurate quantification of 10x Chromium single-cell RNA sequencing data. Under review.</p>
<p>A Linux computer running an operating system of CentOS 7 (or later) or Ubuntu 20.04 (or later) is recommended for running this analysis. The computer should have >2 TB of disk space and >64 GB of RAM. The following software packages need to be installed before running the analysis. Software executables generated after installation should be included in the $PATH environment variable.</p>

</ul>
<p>Reference packages generated by 10x Genomics are also required for this analysis and they can be downloaded from the following link (2020-A version for individual human and mouse reference packages should be selected):</p>
<p><a href="https://support.10xgenomics.com/single-cell-gene-expression/software/downloads/latest" target="_blank">https://support.10xgenomics.com/single-cell-gene-expression/software/downloads/latest</a></p>
<p>After all these are done, you can simply run the shell script ‘<strong>test-all-new.bash</strong>’ to perform all the analyses carried out in the paper. This script will automatically download the mixture scRNA-seq data from the SRA database, and it will output a text file called ‘<strong>test-all.log</strong>’ that contains all the screen outputs and speed/accuracy results of CellRanger, STARsolo and cellCounts.</p>
