![Summary of doublet detection tools.](https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S2405471220304592-gr5.jpg)

The methods include doubletCells, Scrublet, cxds, bcds, hybrid, Solo, DoubletDetection, DoubletFinder, and DoubletDecon. Evaluation was conducted using 16 real scRNA-seq datasets with experimentally annotated doublets and 112 synthetic datasets.
- **Evaluation Metrics**
- Detection Accuracy: Assessed using the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
- Impact on Downstream Analyses: Effects on differential expression (DE) gene analysis, highly variable gene identification, cell clustering, and cell trajectory inference.
- Computational Efficiency: Considered aspects such as speed, scalability, stability, and usability.
- **Key Findings**
- Detection Accuracy: DoubletFinder achieved the highest detection accuracy among the methods.
- Downstream Analyses: Removal of doublets generally improved the accuracy of downstream analyses, with varying degrees of improvement depending on the method.
- Computational Efficiency: cxds was found to be the most computationally efficient method, particularly excelling in speed and scalability.
- **Performance Factors**
- Doublet Rate: Higher doublet rates improved the accuracy of all methods.
- Sequencing Depth: Greater sequencing depth led to better performance.
- Number of Cell Types: More cell types generally resulted in better detection accuracy, except for cxds, bcds, and hybrid methods.
- Cell-Type Heterogeneity: Higher heterogeneity between cell types improved the detection accuracy for most methods.

Overall Conclusion: DoubletFinder is recommended for its high detection accuracy and significant improvement in downstream analyses, while cxds is highlighted for its computational efficiency.
