Project description:For more than a decade, microarrays have been a powerful and widely used tool to explore the transcriptome of biological systems. However, the amount of biological material from cell sorting or laser capture microdissection is much too small to perform microarray studies. To address this issue, RNA amplification methods have been developed to generate sufficient targets from picogram amounts of total RNA to perform microarray hybridisation. In this study, four commercial protocols for amplification of picograms amounts of input RNA for microarray expression profiling were evaluated and compared. The quantitative and qualitative performances of the methods were assessed. Microarrays were hybridised with the amplified targets and the amplification protocols were compared with respect to the quality of expression profiles, reproducibility within a concentration range of input RNA, and sensitivity. Four commercial protocols for amplification of picograms amounts of input RNA for microarray expression profiling were evaluated and compared. For each protocol, one RNA amplification was performed from 250 pg, and one from 500 pg of human universal RNA by two operators in two independent laboratories and compared to the amplified aRNA obtained from 2 µg and 100 ng RNA inputs following the standard protocol proposed by Affymetrix. A negative control (amplification without total RNA) and a positive control (if available) were included in each experimental batch. Samples indicating 50, 100, and 1000 pg RNA inputs correspond to 3 additional quantities of total RNA used to synthesise the cDNA target using the nugen protocol for comparison (250, 500 pg + 50, 100, 1000 pg).

Project description:Mouse adult female brain’s cortex (C57BL/6, Charles River Laboratories, Inc.) was isolated and stored immediately at -80°C. Subsequently, the mRNA (15µg) was isolated using TRIzol Reagent and MicroFastTrack 2.0 Kit (Invitrogen). A Sample of 5µg was assessed on Affymetrix Mouse 430.2 array. Aliquots from the leftovers of the same cortical mRNA were diluted to single-cell RNA levels (0.1, 1, and 10 pg) and independently aRNA amplified for a total of 2 and 4 rounds and assessed on Affymetrix Mouse 430.2 arrays.

Project description:ChIP-seq is used to map transcription factor occupancy and generate epigenetic profiles genome-wide. The requirement of nano-scale ChIP DNA for generation of sequencing libraries has impeded ChIP-seq on in vivo tissues of low cell numbers. We describe a robust, simple and scalable methodology for ChIP-seq of low-abundant cell populations, reliably amplifying 50 pg of ChIP DNA, corresponding to ~30,000 input cells for transcription factor ChIP (CEBPA) and 3,000 cells for histone mark ChIP (H3K27me3). This represents a significant advance compared to existing technologies, which involve complex and time-consuming steps of pre-amplification, making them susceptible to experimental biases. ChIP-seq of histone modifications H3K27me3 (2 biological replicates (I+II) , 2 ng input), H3K4me3 (2 biological replicates (II+III), 2 ng input), transcription factor CEBPA (2 biological replicates (I+II), 300 pg input), 4 diluted CEBPA libraries (pool of ChIP from 3 biol. replicates (I+II+III) 3x 100 pg input, 1x 50 pg). Additonal ChIP-seq using 10,000 cells, 1 biological replicate of each H3K4me3 and CEBPA.

Project description:Recently, measurement of RNA at single cell resolution has yielded surprising insights. Methods for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have received considerable attention, but the broad reliability of single cell methods and the factors governing their performance are still poorly known.Here, we conducted a large-scale control experiment to assess the transfer function of three scRNA-seq methods and factors modulating the function. All three methods detected greater than 70% of the expected number of genes and had a 50% probability of detecting genes with abundance greater than 2 to 4 molecules. Despite the small number of molecules, sequencing depth significantly affected gene detection. While biases in detection and quantification were qualitatively similar across methods, the degree of bias differed, consistent with differences in molecular protocol. Measurement reliability increased with expression level for all methods and we conservatively estimate measurements to be quantitative at an expression level greater than ~5-10 molecules.Based on these extensive control studies, we propose that RNA-seq of single cells has come of age, yielding quantitative biological information.
