# Split by feature type

Split matrix can be invoked on any counts data node with more than one feature types (multiomics data). For example, a CITE-Seq experiment would have Gene Expression counts and Antibody Capture counts in the single cell counts data node. This task to split different feature measurements for downstream analysis.

There are no parameters to configure, to run:

* Click the counts data node you want to split
* Click the **Pre-analysis tools** section of the toolbox
* Click **Split by feature type**

The Split matrix task will run and generate output data nodes for each of the feature types. For example, if there are Antibody Capture and Gene Expression feature types in the input, Split matrix will generate two data nodes. Every sample is included in both matrices.
