Do you mind sharing the altered code? And how do you modify the fastqs?

My modifications didn't work, and I strongly recommend not changing code like that unless you understand what you are doing.  As to changing the fastqs, you have to understand the format you've got, and what format you want.  I use umi_tools to identify the barcodes and their one-offs, and use that list to make replacements.

<p>I'm trying to use cellranger to <code>mkfastq</code> and then <code>count</code> and <code>aggregate</code> single-cell data. This data was not generated using 10x Genomics RNASeq. </p>

<p>When I run <code>count</code>, cellranger fails to auto id the chemistry and crashes out. Is it possible to wrangle the data into the cellranger method or should I look elsewhere. I'd ideally like to use the same method for all my single-cell data but not all of it is 10x.</p>

Hi Yuriy, could you tell us what how you generated the RNAseq data? That might be important. Also what species/problem you are working with?

How do the fastq files that belong to a given sample look like, I mean how are they named? Can you share the `ls` output of a given sample directory?

Perhaps [STARsolo](https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR/blob/2.7.3a/docs/STARsolo.md) is worth looking into.

Hi, It is Smart-Seq2 data that I am hoping to overlap with some 10x data. Regarding the fastq I had to use the mkfastq command. For each sample, I have _R1 _R2 _I1 _I2 files. The naming consists of the sample name, the clone, the lane and the read.

Using cellranger for non-10x data
# Using cellranger for non-10x data

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-17)

I'm trying to use cellranger to `mkfastq` and then `count` and `aggregate` single-cell data. This data was not generated using 10x Genomics RNASeq.

When I run `count`, cellranger fails to auto id the chemistry and crashes out. Is it possible to wrangle the data into the cellranger method or should I look elsewhere. I'd ideally like to use the same method for all my single-cell data but not all of it is 10x.
