Mitigating genotype-driven bias improves atlas-scale single-cell DNA methylome profiling

Xueer Song, Anna Diacofotaki, Bernard K. van der Veer…·Bernard Thienpont

The paper mitigates genotype-driven bias in single-cell DNA methylation analysis by masking variant positions, improving clustering and reducing spurious methylation differences in pooled datasets.
