Abstract Outdoor Fire Pit Table Long-read single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables the quantification of RNA isoforms in individual cells.However, long-read scRNA-seq using the Oxford Nanopore platform has largely relied upon matched short-read data to identify cell barcodes.We introduce BLAZE, which accurately and efficiently identifies 10x cell barcodes using only nanopore long-read scRNA-seq data.BLAZE outperforms the existing tools and provides an accurate representation of the cells present in long-read scRNA-seq when compared to matched short reads.BLAZE simplifies long-read scRNA-seq while improving the results, is Outdoor Multi-use Table compatible with downstream tools accepting a cell barcode file, and is available at https://github.
