Question: I have only my Gene Expression library from a multiome sample and would like to run Cell Ranger in the 10x Cloud, but I keep getting an error: "An extremely low rate of correct barcodes was observed." Can you please help?
Answer: To analyze only the Multiome Gene Expression library in Cell Ranger, the chemistry needs to be specified as Multiome, since there is a separate library of barcodes for this product.
After you have uploaded your FASTQ files to the 10x Cloud, you will need to set the "Library or Feature Type" to "Epi Multiome --> Next GEM Epi Multiome Gene Expression", like this:
Then, when you select "Create New Analysis",
select your Gene Expression library and the Analysis settings will include the "Cell Ranger Count" Pipeline:
Expand the options at the bottom under "View advanced settings"
and make sure to select "Multiome 3'" from the dropdown menu:
If this chemistry is not set, then there will be an error that looks something like this:
Cell Ranger detected the chemistry ARC-v1, which may indicate a workflow error during sample preparation.
Please check the reagents used to prepare this sample and contact 10x Genomics support for further assistance.
If this workflow is intentional, you can force Cell Ranger to process this data by manually specifying the ARC-v1 chemistry in your analysis configuration.
Note: This type of analysis is not officially supported. We do not recommend or advise the analysis of single modalities from the multiome assay. The main benefits of the multiome assay i.e. joint cell-calling and feature linkages will not be available when analysis is carried out in this way.
