rereading the dataset description, I realized that this dataset probably has 8 barcodes - meaning I should expect 8 barcodes to show clustered barcode expression in these plots, which I do see now. So I think that perhaps this is the expected result. I'm not entirely sure how to interpret the plots that show barcodes across the entire tSNE. does this occur for barcodes not included in the experimental run? thanks!
Hi @lb15 ,
This data actually looks super good, and it makes sense that 8 BCs were used because there are 8 visually-discernible clusters in barcode space. As described in the tutorial, I usually remove the BCs I didn't use in my experiment before running the tSNE to check whether all of the anticipated BCs form distinct clusters. This is the "point" of computing barcode space -- i.e., visually checking that all of your anticipated barcodes are "present" before running the sample classification pipeline.

thanks Chris, that makes sense! i definitely misread the dataset description and originally thought there should be 96 barcodes...
Hey Chris,
I'm testing out deMULTIplex on the PBMC data, following the tutorial. I ran the following:
And checked the TSNE plots. I'm getting plots like these:
Is this the expected output for this dataset? A lot of the plots look like the "missing" example and I expected this dataset to not have missing barcodes based on your note.
Thanks! Lauren
