+## VDJ concatenation
+The 'filtered_contig_annotation' tables are concatenated to generate a unified high-level annotation for each high-confidence cellular contig. It takes a filtered_contig_annotation.csv file for each sample and generates an AnnData object saved as .h5ad.
+
+**Output directory: `results/concatenate`**
+
+## Multimodal Data implementation
+This step enables handling multimodal data. It takes .h5ad AnnData objects from both the Gene Expression (GEX), Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by sequencing (CITE) and V(D)J modalities and constructs MuData objects, which is then saved as .h5mu file.
