Genome-wide haplotyping of human single cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A method to infer genome-wide haplotypes from the analysis of one or two single (human) cells has tremendous applicative value. It would revolutionize not only preimplantation genetic diagnosis of in vitro fertilized human embryos in the clinic, but also animal breeding programs by enabling genome-wide quantitative trait loci selection at the embryonic level. In addition, it allows to further scrutinize drivers of haplotype diversity, mainly meiotic homologous recombination as well as somatic (homologous) recombination processes that occur often during (human) tumorigenesis. We developed a generic approach to type genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms in single human cells and to reconstruct genome-wide haplotypes of single or dual cell derived genotypes. Genome-wide sequences of syntenic alleles were determined for EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells as well as human blastomeres. To this end, multiple displacement amplified DNA samples of single cells were hybridized to Affymetrix 250K SNP-arrays. Different algorithmic designs were subsequently developed to assess from the single cell-derived SNP-probe intensities the sequence of syntenic alleles and to pinpoint accurately the majority of parental homologous recombination sites using a linkage-based approach.
