Multi-omics single-cell data represent an excellent opportunity to investigate biological complexity in general and generate new insights into the biological complexity of heterogeneous multicellular populations. Considering one omics pool at a time captures partial cellular states, while combining data from different omics collections allows for a better reconstruction of the intricacies of cell regulations at a particular time. However, multi-omics data provide only an opportunity. Computational approaches can leverage such opportunities, given that they raise the challenge of consistent data integration and multi-omics analysis. This work showcases a bioinformatic workflow combining existing methods and packages to analyze transcriptomic and epigenomic single-cell data separately and jointly, generating a new, more complete understanding of cellular heterogeneity.
