Single-cell RNA sequencing is often applied in study designs that include multiple
individuals, conditions or tissues. To identify recurrent cell subpopulations in such
heterogeneous collections, we developed Conos, an approach that relies on multiple
plausible inter-sample mappings to construct a global graph connecting all measured cells.
The graph enables identification of recurrent cell clusters and propagation of information
between datasets in multi-sample or atlas-scale collections.
