Here is the procedure I am following to do scRNA-Seq analysis. Can anyone please suggest to me whether it is correct or wrong?
I have the fastq
files for each sample name listed in the following format
[Sample Name]_S1_L00[Lane Number]_[Read Type]_001.fastq.gz
For example, the sample name 1011
is in different runs
i.e., in run # FGC2121
and lane
L001
there is a fastq
file 1011_S1_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz
and in run # FGC2133
and lane
L005
there is another fastq
file 1011_S1_L005_R1_001.fastq.gz
For each sample name, I am running cellranger count
on each run-lane
separately. In other words, I am running run # FGC2121
first and run # FGC2133
and so on.
My first question is if I can run the cellranger aggr
function to merge the outputs of different runs
for a sample name
.
The second question is if I need to run cellranger aggr
function again if I want to aggregate different sample names. For ex, aggregation of samples 1011
1022
etc which are different Controls or cases.
I greatly appreciate your suggestions.
