SIS-seq, a molecular ‘time machine’, connects single cell fate with gene programs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Conventional single cell RNA-seq methods are destructive, such that a given cell cannot also then be tested for fate and function, without a time machine. Here, we develop a clonal method SIS-seq, whereby single cells are allowed to divide, and progeny cells are assayed separately in SISter conditions; some for fate, others by RNA-seq. By cross-correlating fate and gene expression within a clone, and doing this for many clones, we can identify the earliest gene expression signatures of dendritic cell subset development. SIS-seq could be used to study other populations harboring clonal heterogeneity, including stem, reprogrammed and cancer cells to reveal the transcriptional origins of fate decisions.
