Doublet Detection Advice
When to use
User asks about doublets in single-cell data: how to detect, which tool, or when to remove.
Inputs
- method: Optional (scrublet, scDblFinder, etc.); expected_doublet_rate: Optional.
Steps
-
Local: Use search_knowledge_base for lab SOPs on doublet detection.
-
Summarize: Explain that doublets are two cells in one droplet; recommend tools (Scrublet for 10x, scDblFinder for flexibility). Mention expected rate (~0.4% per 1k cells for 10x).
-
Workflow: Suggest: run doublet scoring → set threshold or use automatic → filter or label. Note not to over-filter.
-
Caveats: Brief note on multiplet rate vs sequencing depth.
