Tracking cell-lineage using mutations in the mitochondrion genome.
- Run cellranger 10x on fastq files
- Preprocess: Convert bam file into single-cell pileup data
- Filtering: Coverage and quality based filtering.
- Variant calling: Filtering MT variants using Vireo or mgatk
- Merging conditions
- Demultiplexing: Assigning a donor to each cell, and None if it is unassigned.
- Clonal detection: Assign cells to a clone and None if unassigned.
- Clonal enrichment across conditions: Run enrichment analysis across conditions of the same sample/donor
There are different ways the pipeline process can be run, in different orders, such that the proper quality and parameters can be assessed. Steps: [1->2] is done first, and [7->8] is done last. In the middle, it's either [3->5->4->6], [3->4->5->6] or [5->6->3->4]
