Description

Checklist before submitting the issue:

  • The issue is strongly related to the MiXCR software
  • The issue can be reproduced with the most recent version of MiXCR
  • There is no answer to the question in the official documentation and there is no duplicate issue in the bug tracker
  • Inspection of raw alignments with exportAlignmentsPretty shows that data has the expected architecture, and sample preparation artefacts are not the reason of the problem (if this is the matter of the issue)

Expected Result

Thousands of cells in the output (tagValueCELL). My chemistry is "Single Cell 5' PE v3".

Actual Result

Only 18 cells.

Exact MiXCR commands

mixcr -Xmx48g analyze 10x-sc-xcr-vdj --species hsa ${FASTQ_R1} ${FASTQ_R2} sample_name

I tried to change the tag pattern to --tag-pattern "^(CELL:N{16})(UMI:N{12})(R1:)^(R2:)" , but this didn't help.
