Abstract

MOTIVATION: Recent advances in multimodal single-cell omics technologies enable multiple modalities of molecular attributes, such as gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and protein abundance, to be profiled simultaneously at a global level in individual cells. While the increasing availability of multiple data modalities is expected to provide a more accurate clustering and characterization of cells, the development of computational methods that are capable of extracting information embedded across data modalities is still in its infancy.
