Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A tissue, an organ, or even a differentiated state of cells are composed of heterogeneous cell populations. Single-cell gene-expression profiling allows you to identify and characterize various types of each cell. Here, we have developed the novel strategy (Nx1-seq) of single-cell transcriptome analysis for thousands of single cells. In our approach, single cells are deposited in a high-density microwell plate and lysed in situ. mRNA is then captured on barcoding microbeads developed by emulsion PCR and reverse transcribed. By applying this Nx1seq method for thousands of cells per experiment, we have successfully characterized 1) complex heterogeneous types of cells in the human endometrioid adenocarcinoma cancer cell line and 2) immune cells at a certain differentiated state.
