Abstract
Single-cell multi-omics is a transformative technology that measures both gene expression and chromatin accessibility in individual cells. However, most studies concentrate on a single tissue and are unable to determine whether a gene is regulated by a cis-regulatory element (CRE) in just one tissue or across multiple tissues. We developed Compass for comparative analysis of gene regulation across a large number of human and mouse tissues. Compass consists of a database, CompassDB, and an open-source R software package, CompassR. CompassDB contains processed single-cell multi-omics data of more than 2.8 million cells from hundreds of cell types. Building upon CompassDB, CompassR enables visualization and comparison of gene regulation across multiple tissues. We demonstrated that CompassR can identify CRE-gene linkages specific to a tissue type and their associated transcription factors in real examples.
