In projects with multiple data types for each sample such as CITE-Seq, Merge matrices can be used to combine two data nodes with different data types into one data node.
A Merged counts data node is produced (Figure 3).
The intersection of observations (cells and/or samples) from the two input matrices is included in the merged matrix.
Once two data types have been merged, they can be split using Split matrix.
For a practical example using Merge matrices, please see our tutorial on Analyzing CITE-Seq Data,
