Benchmarking single-cell hashtag oligo demultiplexing methods.

Sample multiplexing is often used to reduce cost and limit batch effects in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) experiments. A commonly used multiplexing technique involves tagging cells prior to pooling with a hashtag oligo (HTO) that can be sequenced along with the cells' RNA to determine their sample of origin. Several tools have been developed to demultiplex HTO sequencing data and assign cells to samples.
