Implication

Methodological study demonstrates accurate multiplet detection in human blood and pancreatic tissue snATAC-seq data, indicating the necessity of sufficient read depth.

Key Points

Develop and validate a read count-based computational tool (AMULET) to accurately detect multiplets in single-nucleus ATAC-seq data despite data sparsity.
Designed AMULET to scan individual nuclei and detect multiplets by quantifying genomic loci with more than two uniquely aligned reads.
Generated and profiled single-nucleus ATAC-seq libraries from human blood and pancreatic islet tissue samples.
Evaluated multiplet identification accuracy against existing computational tools using donor-based multiplexing for precision and simulated multiplets for recall.
AMULET demonstrated higher precision and recall relative to existing alternative detection methods across benchmark datasets.
Optimal multiplet detection performance was achieved when sequencing depth reached a threshold of at least 25,000 median valid reads per nucleus.
