Abstract
We introduce the Barcode-UMI-Set format (BUS) for representing pseudoalignments of reads from single-cell RNA-seq experiments. The format can be used with all single-cell RNA-seq technologies, and we show that BUS files can be efficiently generated. BUStools is a suite of tools for working with BUS files and facilitates rapid quantification and analysis of single-cell RNA-seq data. The BUS format therefore makes possible the development of modular, technology-specific and robust workflows for single-cell RNA-seq analysis.

We thank Fan Gao for helping with the benchmarking of 'kallisto bus' and BUStools. Valentine Svensson provided valuable suggestions, and we relied on his compilation of scRNA-seq read encodings (Svensson et al. 2017). Jase Gehring, Lynn Yi and Tina Wang provided valuable feedback on an initial kallisto-based scRNA-seq workflow, which motivated the development of the BUS format.Attached Files
