Detection and removal of barcode swapping in single-cell RNA-seq data

DNA barcode swapping results in mislabelling of sequencing reads between multiplexed samples. Here, the authors investigate the severity and consequences of barcode swapping for single-cell RNA-seq data, and develop a computational method to exclude swapped reads.
