Drop-on-Demand Single Cell Isolation and Total RNA Analysis

چکیده
Technologies that rapidly isolate viable single cells from heterogeneous solutions have significantly contributed to the field of medical genomics. Challenges remain both to enable efficient extraction, isolation and patterning of single cells from heterogeneous solutions as well as to keep them alive during the process due to a limited degree of control over single cell manipulation. Here, we present a microdroplet based method to isolate and pattern single cells from heterogeneous cell suspensions (10% target cell mixture), preserve viability of the extracted cells (97.0±0.8%), and obtain genomic information from isolated cells compared to the non-patterned controls. The cell encapsulation process is both experimentally and theoretically analyzed. Using the isolated cells, we identified 11 stem cell markers among 1000 genes and compare to the controls. This automated platform enabling high-throughput cell manipulation for subsequent genomic analysis employs fewer handling steps compared to existing methods.

In this study, twenty-five whey samples collected from dairy industries in the city of Isfahan. The sampleswere cultured on malt extract broth (MEB) and yeast extract glucose chloramphenicol agar (YGCA) media.Eleven yeast strains (designated M1 to M11) were isolated from the culture. The strains were identified bytheir morphological and physiological properties. Betagalactosid...
متن کاملI-13: Transcriptome Dynamics of Human and Mouse Preimplantation Embryos Revealed by Single Cell RNA-Sequencing
Background: Mammalian preimplantation development is a complex process involving dramatic changes in the transcriptional architecture. However, it is still unclear about the crucial transcriptional network and key hub genes that regulate the proceeding of preimplantation embryos. Materials and Methods: Through single-cell RNAsequencing (RNA-seq) of both human and mouse preimplantation embryos, ...
متن کاملIsolation of high-quality RNA from a wide range of woody plants
Isolation of high-quality RNA is one of the most crucial methods in molecular biology. RNA extraction from woody plants has been problematic due to the presence of rigid and woody tissues, large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and other secondary metabolites. Here we present a suitable protocol for RNA isolation from a wide range of woody plants that includes eight gymnosperms and four ...
متن کاملA Graph-Based Clustering Approach to Identify Cell Populations in Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data
Introduction: The emergence of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has provided new information about the structure of cells, and provided data with very high resolution of the expression of different genes for each cell at a single time. One of the main uses of scRNA-seq is data clustering based on expressed genes, which sometimes leads to the detection of rare cell populations. ...
