Each cell has a barcode incorporated into Read 1, making the cell's transcriptome accountable and traceable through the pipeline. This barcode includes a unique cell barcode (12bp) and a UMI (8bp), the first part of our bioinformatic pipeline deals with parsing these. ## General Worlflow -The provided scripts go through mapping, parsing fasta headers (barcodes and UMIs), generating count data, making figures and performing differential gene expression (DGE): \n -1.
