Cell Ranger multi supports a number of library types from the same experiment, including Gene Expression, CRISPR, VDJ-T, VDJ-B, Antigen Capture (BEAM), and Antibody Capture (Cell Surface Protein Capture).
In order to organize output metrics resulting from multiple libraries and multiple samples, the metrics_summary.csv file has one metric per row and the following columns:
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
Category | Categorized the metric based whether it applies to only cell-associated barcodes (Cells) or to the whole library (Library). This distinction corresponds to whether a metric is found in the "Library" or "Cell" view of the cellranger multi web summary. |
Library Type | Either Gene Expression, VDJ T, VDJ B, Antigen Capture, Antibody Capture, or CRISPR. |
Grouped By | Describes the categories that a metric may describe/group by. Example categories are Physical library ID, Fastq ID. |
Group Name | The name of the Grouped By category. Example: GEX_1 (a physical library ID), Seq_GEX_1 (a fastq ID), GRCh38 (a genome name), etc. |
Metric Name | The name of the metric. |
Metric Value | The value of the metric. |
