Single cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) data reveals cellular level epigenetic heterogeneity but its application in delineating distinct subpopulations is still challenging. Here, the authors develop scABC, a statistical method for unsupervised clustering of scATAC-seq data and identification of open chromatin regions specific to cell identity.
