Background:

Population-scale single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is crucial for biological discovery but limited by high costs.
Genetic demultiplexing tools identify cell origins using genetic variation but struggle with accuracy in highly multiplexed samples.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust genetic demultiplexing framework that enhances accuracy in high-multiplexing scenarios.
To improve the analytical potential of population-scale scRNA-seq datasets.

Main Methods:

Introduction of Ensemblex, an accuracy-weighted ensemble framework integrating four distinct demultiplexing algorithms.
Validation using computationally and experimentally pooled samples.

Main Results:

Ensemblex demonstrates superior accuracy in genetic demultiplexing compared to existing methods.
The framework effectively identifies the most probable subject labels for pooled cells.

Conclusions:

Ensemblex significantly enhances the reliability of genetic demultiplexing for large-scale scRNA-seq studies.
Accurate demultiplexing with Ensemblex enables more robust downstream biological analyses and discoveries.
