High-content single-cell combinatorial indexing.

ABSTRACT: Single-cell combinatorial indexing (sci) with transposase-based library construction increases the throughput of single-cell genomics assays but produces sparse coverage in terms of usable reads per cell. We develop symmetrical strand sci ('s3'), a uracil-based adapter switching approach that improves the rate of conversion of source DNA into viable sequencing library fragments following tagmentation. We apply this chemistry to assay chromatin accessibility (s3-assay for transposase-accessible chromatin, s3-ATAC) in human cortical and mouse whole-brain tissues, with mouse datasets demonstrating a six- to 13-fold improvement in usable reads per cell compared with other available methods. Application of s3 to single-cell whole-genome sequencing (s3-WGS) and to whole-genome plus chromatin conformation (s3-GCC) yields 148- and 14.8-fold improvements, respectively, in usable reads per cell compared with sci-DNA-sequencing and sci-HiC. We show that s3-WGS and s3-GCC resolve subclonal genomic alterations in patient-derived pancreatic cancer cell lines. We expect that the s3 platform will be compatible with other transposase-based techniques, including sci-MET or CUT&Tag.

High-content single-cell combinatorial indexing

Project description:We describe a new generalizable library generation chemistry with increased efficiency that is amendable to tagmentation-based split-pool barcoding strategies, such as single-cell combinatorial indexing (sci). Symmetrical strand sci (‘s3’) uses a novel uracil-based adapter switching approach that provides an improved rate of conversion of source DNA into viable sequencing library fragments following tagmentation. We apply this chemistry to assay chromatin accessibility (s3-ATAC) to profile human cortical and mouse whole brain tissues, with mouse datasets demonstrating a 6-to-13-fold improvement in usable reads obtained per cell when compared to other available methods performed on the same sample type. We also demonstrate the generalizability of s3 by applying it to single-cell whole genome sequencing (s3-WGS), and whole genome plus chromatin conformation (s3-GCC), for structural variant calling in a patient-derived cancer cell line model. Using the high-coverage profiles produced by the s3 technologies we characterized preserved clonal structure and identified a putative subclone-specific translocation.

Sequencing thousands of single-cell genomes with combinatorial indexing.

Project description:Single-cell genome sequencing has proven valuable for the detection of somatic variation, particularly in the context of tumor evolution. Current technologies suffer from high library construction costs, which restrict the number of cells that can be assessed and thus impose limitations on the ability to measure heterogeneity within a tissue. Here, we present single-cell combinatorial indexed sequencing (SCI-seq) as a means of simultaneously generating thousands of low-pass single-cell libraries for detection of somatic copy-number variants. We constructed libraries for 16,698 single cells from a combination of cultured cell lines, primate frontal cortex tissue and two human adenocarcinomas, and obtained a detailed assessment of subclonal variation within a pancreatic tumor.

Ultra-high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing and perturbation screening with combinatorial fluidic indexing.

Project description:Cell atlas projects and high-throughput perturbation screens require single-cell sequencing at a scale that is challenging with current technology. To enable cost-effective single-cell sequencing for millions of individual cells, we developed 'single-cell combinatorial fluidic indexing' (scifi). The scifi-RNA-seq assay combines one-step combinatorial preindexing of entire transcriptomes inside permeabilized cells with subsequent single-cell RNA-seq using microfluidics. Preindexing allows us to load several cells per droplet and computationally demultiplex their individual expression profiles. Thereby, scifi-RNA-seq massively increases the throughput of droplet-based single-cell RNA-seq, and provides a straightforward way of multiplexing thousands of samples in a single experiment. Compared with multiround combinatorial indexing, scifi-RNA-seq provides an easy and efficient workflow. Compared to cell hashing methods, which flag and discard droplets containing more than one cell, scifi-RNA-seq resolves and retains individual transcriptomes from overloaded droplets. We benchmarked scifi-RNA-seq on various human and mouse cell lines, validated it for primary human T cells and applied it in a highly multiplexed CRISPR screen with single-cell transcriptome readout of T cell receptor activation.

Prokaryotic single-cell RNA sequencing by in situ combinatorial indexing.

Project description:Despite longstanding appreciation of gene expression heterogeneity in isogenic bacterial populations, affordable and scalable technologies for studying single bacterial cells have been limited. Although single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized studies of transcriptional heterogeneity in diverse eukaryotic systems1-13, the application of scRNA-seq to prokaryotes has been hindered by their extremely low mRNA abundance14-16, lack of mRNA polyadenylation and thick cell walls17. Here, we present prokaryotic expression profiling by tagging RNA in situ and sequencing (PETRI-seq)-a low-cost, high-throughput prokaryotic scRNA-seq pipeline that overcomes these technical obstacles. PETRI-seq uses in situ combinatorial indexing11,12,18 to barcode transcripts from tens of thousands of cells in a single experiment. PETRI-seq captures single-cell transcriptomes of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria with high purity and low bias, with median capture rates of more than 200 mRNAs per cell for exponentially growing Escherichia coli. These characteristics enable robust discrimination of cell states corresponding to different phases of growth. When applied to wild-type Staphylococcus aureus, PETRI-seq revealed a rare subpopulation of cells undergoing prophage induction. We anticipate that PETRI-seq will have broad utility in defining single-cell states and their dynamics in complex microbial communities.

Multiplex single cell profiling of chromatin accessibility by combinatorial cellular indexing.

Project description:Technical advances have enabled the collection of genome and transcriptome data sets with single-cell resolution. However, single-cell characterization of the epigenome has remained challenging. Furthermore, because cells must be physically separated before biochemical processing, conventional single-cell preparatory methods scale linearly. We applied combinatorial cellular indexing to measure chromatin accessibility in thousands of single cells per assay, circumventing the need for compartmentalization of individual cells. We report chromatin accessibility profiles from more than 15,000 single cells and use these data to cluster cells on the basis of chromatin accessibility landscapes. We identify modules of coordinately regulated chromatin accessibility at the level of single cells both between and within cell types, with a scalable method that may accelerate progress toward a human cell atlas.

High-throughput combinatorial indexing enables scalable single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling [Validation]

Project description:While recent technical advancements have facilitated the mapping of epigenomes at the single-cell resolution, the throughput and quality of these methods have limited the widespread application of these technologies. Here, we describe a high-throughput platform for single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin (scATAC-seq) using droplet microfluidics that yields essential qualities for high-throughput profiling, including improvements in per-cell library complexity and throughput. This approach enables robust cell-typing of complex tissues and reveals a de novo atlas of cellular and epigenomic diversity across many cell types and cell stages.
