Reference-Based Analysis
How to project your data onto reference datasets.
Reference Mapping
Reference mapping uses a previously processed and annotated dataset as a reference. Your data is projected into the UMAP coordinates of the reference and the predicted clusters and associated labels are also derived from the reference.
You can select a reference any time that you generate a new dataset:
- Dataset Import
- Dataset Subset
- Dataset Integration
You can select a reference from a different species than your dataset. Homologous genes will be used during the mapping.
