Targeting individual cells by barcode in pooled sequence libraries.

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of thousands of single cells in parallel by RNA-seq is now routine. However, due to reliance on pooled library preparation, targeting analysis to particular cells of interest is difficult. Here, we present a multiplexed PCR method for targeted sequencing of select cells from pooled single-cell sequence libraries. We demonstrated this molecular enrichment method on multiple cell types within pooled single-cell RNA-seq libraries produced from primary human blood cells. We show how molecular enrichment can be combined with FACS to efficiently target ultra-rare cell types, such as the recently identified AXL+SIGLEC6+ dendritic cell (AS DC) subset, in order to reduce the required sequencing effort to profile single cells by 100-fold. Our results demonstrate that DNA barcodes identifying cells within pooled sequencing libraries can be used as targets to enrich for specific molecules of interest, for example reads from a set of target cells.

Cloning antibodies from single cells in pooled sequence libraries by selective PCR.

Project description:Antibodies function by binding to antigens. Antibodies must be cloned and expressed to determine their binding characteristics, but current methods for high-throughput antibody sequencing yield antibody DNA pooled from many cells and do not readily permit cloning of antibodies from single B cells. We present a strategy for retrieving and cloning antibody DNA from single cells within a pooled library of cells. Our strategy, called selective PCR for antibody retrieval (SPAR), takes advantage of the unique sequence barcodes attached to individual cDNA molecules during sample preparation to enable specific amplification by PCR of antibody heavy- and light-chain cDNA originating from a single cell. We show through computational analysis that most human antibodies sequenced using typical high-throughput methods can be retrieved using SPAR, and experimentally demonstrate retrieval of full-length antibody variable region cDNA from three cells within pools of ~5,000 cells. SPAR enables rapid low-cost cloning and expression of native human antibodies from pooled single-cell sequence libraries for functional characterization.

Sequence analysis of libraries from individual human blastocysts.

Project description:PURPOSE: It has recently become possible to construct cDNA libraries from individual human blastocysts to investigate the expression of embryonic genes in human preimplantation development. We have previously reported the expression of beta-actin, CD-59, and homeobox OCT-3 and identified almost-complete homology of sequences to human histone 3.1 and human ribosome protein S25. In the present paper, our further sequencing analysis of cDNA libraries from single human blastocysts is described. METHODS: cDNA libraries were constructed from 13 blastocysts. Sequence analysis was performed in 120 clones from one of these cDNA libraries with fragments of 50 to 1000 bp. Their sequence identity was analyzed using the expressed sequence tag (EST) database. RESULTS: The presence of two housekeeping genes, hexokinase I and serine/threonine phosphorylase, and four other ESTs was demonstrated, the identity of which, with particular gene expression in preimplantation development, has not yet been established. CONCLUSIONS: The data demonstrate the usefulness of constructing cDNA libraries from individual human blastocysts and their values in the analysis of genetic expression in human preimplantation development.

SERS Barcode Libraries: A Microfluidic Approach.

Project description:Microfluidic technologies have emerged as advanced tools for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). They have proved to be particularly appealing for in situ and real-time detection of analytes at extremely low concentrations and down to the 10 × 10-15 m level. However, the ability to prepare reconfigurable and reusable devices endowing multiple detection capabilities is an unresolved challenge. Herein, a microfluidic-based method that allows an extraordinary spatial control over the localization of multiple active SERS substrates in a single microfluidic channel is presented. It is shown that this technology provides for exquisite control over analyte transport to specific detection points, while avoiding cross-contamination; a feature that enables the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes within the same microfluidic channel. Additionally, it is demonstrated that the SERS substrates can be rationally designed in a straightforward manner and that they allow for the detection of single molecules (at concentrations as low as 10-14 m). Finally, it is shown that rapid etching and reconstruction of SERS substrates provides for reconfigurable and reusable operation.

Scalable design of orthogonal DNA barcode libraries.

Project description:Orthogonal DNA barcode library design is an essential task in bioengineering. Here we present seqwalk, an efficient method for designing barcode libraries that satisfy a sequence symmetry minimization (SSM) heuristic for orthogonality, with theoretical guarantees of maximal or near-maximal library size under certain design constraints. Seqwalk encodes SSM constraints in a de Bruijn graph representation of sequence space, enabling the application of recent advances in discrete mathematics1 to the problem of orthogonal sequence design. We demonstrate the scalability of seqwalk by designing a library of >106 SSM-satisfying barcode sequences in less than 20 s on a standard laptop.

Pooled-matrix protein interaction screens using Barcode Fusion Genetics.

Project description:High-throughput binary protein interaction mapping is continuing to extend our understanding of cellular function and disease mechanisms. However, we remain one or two orders of magnitude away from a complete interaction map for humans and other major model organisms. Completion will require screening at substantially larger scales with many complementary assays, requiring further efficiency gains in proteome-scale interaction mapping. Here, we report Barcode Fusion Genetics-Yeast Two-Hybrid (BFG-Y2H), by which a full matrix of protein pairs can be screened in a single multiplexed strain pool. BFG-Y2H uses Cre recombination to fuse DNA barcodes from distinct plasmids, generating chimeric protein-pair barcodes that can be quantified via next-generation sequencing. We applied BFG-Y2H to four different matrices ranging in scale from ~25 K to 2.5 M protein pairs. The results show that BFG-Y2H increases the efficiency of protein matrix screening, with quality that is on par with state-of-the-art Y2H methods.

DNA barcode libraries provide insight into continental patterns of avian diversification.

Project description:BackgroundThe causes for the higher biodiversity in the Neotropics as compared to the Nearctic and the factors promoting species diversification in each region have been much debated. The refuge hypothesis posits that high tropical diversity reflects high speciation rates during the Pleistocene, but this conclusion has been challenged. The present study investigates this matter by examining continental patterns of avian diversification through the analysis of large-scale DNA barcode libraries.Methodology and principal findingsStandardized COI datasets from the avifaunas of Argentina, the Nearctic, and the Palearctic were analyzed. Average genetic distances between closest congeners and sister species were higher in Argentina than in North America reflecting a much higher percentage of recently diverged species in the latter region. In the Palearctic genetic distances between closely related species appeared to be more similar to those of the southern Neotropics. Average intraspecific variation was similar in Argentina and North America, while the Palearctic fauna had a higher value due to a higher percentage of variable species. Geographic patterning of intraspecific structure was more complex in the southern Neotropics than in the Nearctic, while the Palearctic showed an intermediate level of complexity.Conclusions and significanceDNA barcodes can reveal continental patterns of diversification. Our analysis suggests that avian species are older in Argentina than in the Nearctic, supporting the idea that the greater diversity of the Neotropical avifauna is not caused by higher recent speciation rates. Species in the Palearctic also appear to be older than those in the Nearctic. These results, combined with the patterns of geographic structuring found in each region, suggest a major impact of Pleistocene glaciations in the Nearctic, a lesser effect in the Palearctic and a mild effect in the southern Neotropics.

CRISPR/Cas-based customization of pooled CRISPR libraries.

Project description:Pooled CRISPR libraries are widely used in high-throughput screening to study various biological processes. Various pooled CRISPR libraries have been shared for CRISPR screens and useful tools have been developed to construct researcher's own libraries, however, many researchers are struggling to create their own pooled CRISPR libraries: it is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive process. In this study, we develop a simple method to customize conventional pooled CRISPR libraries using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We show that conventional pooled CRISPR libraries can be modified by eliminating gRNAs that target positive genes, enabling the identification of unknown target genes in CRISPR screening. CRISPR/Cas9 system can be applied as a precise tool for customizing conventional pooled CRISPR libraries and will broaden the scope of high-throughput screening technology.

Unbiased Fitness Estimation of Pooled Barcode or Amplicon Sequencing Studies.

Project description:Standard practice for phenotyping complex cell pools is to measure the fold enrichment of genotype-specific amplicons after a period of competitive growth. Here, we show that fold-enrichment measures cannot be compared across genotype pools with different fitness distributions. We develop a method to calculate an unbiased estimate of relative fitness by tracking abundances over several time points and show how to optimize experimental protocols to minimize fitness measurement error.
