Overview of Experimental Data

Experimental data was generated according to the following workflow:

Experimental Data

Overview of Computational Workflow

The CRISPR enrichment screen was processed using the MAGeCK software package [1].

The Perturb-CITE-seq data was analyzed according to the following pipeline:

Computational Pipeline

Pre-processing of single-cell data

Expression matrices, representing Unique Molecular Identifier (UMI) counts for both scRNA-seq and CITE-seq data were obtained using the Cumulus version 0.14.0 implementation of the CellRanger v.3 workflow with genome reference GRCh38 v3.0.0 and default parameters [2]. Cells with fewer than 200 detected genes or with >18% of detected genes labeled mitochondrial were removed from subsequent analysis. Genes detected in fewer than 200 cells were also removed from further analysis.
