Dear all, I have a question,is this integration method suitable for data from different species on different platforms? Because my data comes from different species, one is a mouse(10X) and one is a dog(split-seq). They are the same tissues:Olfactory bulb . Thanks in advance.

yours, limanman

Yes, this is possible. In the LIGER paper, we used LIGER to integrate single-cell RNA-seq from mouse substantia nigra with single-nucleus RNA-seq from human substantia nigra. Obviously, this experimental design is less desirable than one in which data from both species come from the same platform.
