The algorithm design of CellAnn. (A) The CellAnn algorithm consists of three modules: (1) Module 1: CellAnn calculates the correlations between query clusters and clusters in reference and background. The cutoff is estimated based on the correlation between query clusters and background references. (2) Module 2: CellAnn calculates the correlations and estimates correlation cutoffs between the query data and sub-clusters in reference datasets. (3) Module 3: CellAnn performs the Wilcoxon rank-sum test to determine cell types further if a query cluster is similar to multiple sub-clusters in the reference.
