English SUMMARY
STACAS is a computational method for the identification of integration anchors in the Seurat environment, optimized for the integration of single-cell (sc)RNA-seq datasets that share only a subset of cell types. We demonstrate that by i) correcting batch effects while preserving relevant biological variability across datasets, ii) filtering aberrant integration anchors with a quantitative distance measure, and iii) constructing optimal guide trees for integration, STACAS can accurately align scRNA-seq datasets composed of only partially overlapping cell populations.
