A sandbox for prediction and integration of DNA, RNA, and proteins in single cells

Single-cell multiomics data collected from bone marrow mononuclear cells of 12 healthy human donors. Half the samples were measured using the 10X Multiome Gene Expression and Chromatin Accessability kit and half were measured using the 10X 3' Single-Cell Gene Expression kit with Feature Barcoding in combination with the BioLegend TotalSeq B Universal Human Panel v1.0. The dataset was generated to support Multimodal Single-Cell Data Integration Challenge at NeurIPS 2021. Samples were prepared using a standard protocol at four sites. The resulting data was then annotated to identify cell types and remove doublets. The dataset was designed with a nested batch layout such that some donor samples were measured at multiple sites with some donors measured at a single site. In the competition, participants were tasked with challenges including modality prediction, matching profiles from different modalities, and learning a joint embedding from multiple modalities. Overall design: Single-cell multiomics data collected from bone marrow mononuclear cells of 12 healthy human donors.
