Description

I obtained not very expected results from celltrek (some cell types are mapped randomly) and it made me wonder if something went wrong downstream. My main suspect is coembedding where data types are very well separated:

I followed the tutorial in the readme and did not apply any extra filtering/gene selection/preprocessing steps. Could you suggest what might be the issue?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the README tutorial and inspect the coembedding step that produces the separated data types. Compare its inputs with the reported run and determine whether the batch effect explains the random cell-type mapping; done means identifying the cause or documenting the missing troubleshooting guidance.
