10x to cloupe

Question

[firestar]

I have my data as "10x" format.

barcodes.tsv
genes.tsv
matrix.mtx

How can I convert this to .cloupe format to view in the 10x loupe browser?

[igor]

The .cloupe file contains additional information that is not available in those three files, so it would not be possible to convert them.

I asked 10x once...you can't. You need to run cellranger on the fastqs to make a loupe file.

Hmm.. Someone needs to reverse engineer the .cloupe format :) https://github.com/10XGenomics/cellranger/blob/master/mro/stages/cloupe/cloupe_preprocess/__init__.py
