Single cell transcriptomic approaches are becoming mainstream, with replicate experiments commonly performed with the same single cell technology. Methods that enable integration of these datasets by removing batch effects while preserving biological information are required for unbiased data interpretation. Here we introduce Canek for this purpose. Canek leverages information from mutual nearest neighbor to combine local linear corrections with cell-specific non-linear corrections within a fuzzy logic framework. Using a combination of real and synthetic datasets, we show that Canek corrects batch effects while introducing the least amount of bias compared with competing methods. Canek is computationally efficient and can easily integrate thousands of single-cell transcriptomes from replicated experiments.
