Project description:We provide a detailed protocol for the generation of ATAC-Me libraries in a variety of cell types including H9 ESCs. We also display anticipated results that may be generated from application of the protocol to different model systems.
Project description:Single cell multi-omic readouts of both the cellular transcriptome and proteome have significantly enhanced our ability to comprehensively characterize cellular states. Most approaches in this area rely on oligonucleotide barcode-conjugated antibodies that target cell surface epitopes of interest, enabling their concomitant detection with the transcriptome. However, a similar high-throughput measurement of other cellular modalities such as the epigenome in concert with protein levels have not been described. Moreover, detection of epitopes is limited to antigens for which a specific antibody is available. Here, we introduce PHAGE-ATAC, an approach that enables the scalable and simultaneous detection of protein levels and chromatin accessibility data in single cells using the assay of transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq). Quantitative detection of proteins by PHAGE-ATAC is accomplished through the use of engineerable nanobody-displaying phages that are genetically barcoded within the nanobody-encoding phagemids. We demonstrate the utility of PHAGE-ATAC for multimodal single cell genomic analysis in both cell lines and primary human cells. Analogous to phage display approaches, we further establish a synthetic high-complexity library of nanobody-displaying phages and demonstrate its utility to select novel antigen-specific nanobodies for PHAGE-ATAC.

Project description:Cell-to-cell variation is a universal feature of life that impacts a wide range of biological phenomena, from developmental plasticity to tumor heterogeneity. While recent advances have improved our ability to document cellular phenotypic variation the fundamental mechanisms that generate variability from identical DNA sequences remain elusive. Here we reveal the landscape and principles of cellular DNA regulatory variation by developing a robust method for mapping the accessible genome of individual cells via assay of transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq). Single-cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) maps from hundreds of single-cells in aggregate closely resemble accessibility profiles from tens of millions of cells and provides insights into cell-to-cell variation. Accessibility variance is systematically associated with specific trans-factors and cis-elements, and we discover combinations of trans-factors associated with either induction or suppression of cell-to-cell variability. We further identify sets of trans-factors associated with cell-type specific accessibility variance across 6 cell types. Targeted perturbations of cell cycle or transcription factor signaling evoke stimulus-specific changes in this observed variability. The pattern of accessibility variation in cis across the genome recapitulates chromosome topological domains de novo, linking single-cell accessibility variation to three-dimensional genome organization. All together, single-cell analysis of DNA accessibility provides new insight into cellular variation of the “regulome.” Profiles of single cell epigenomes, assayed using scATAC-seq, across 8 cell types and 4 targeted cell manipulations. The complete data set contains a total of 1,632 assayed wells.
Project description:Multi-modal measurements of single cell profiles are a powerful tool for characterizing cell states and regulatory mechanisms. While current methods allow profiling of RNA along with either readouts of chromatin or protein, connecting chromatin state to protein levels remains a barrier. Here, we developed PHAGE-ATAC, a method that uses engineered camelid single-domain antibody (‘nanobody’)-displaying phages for simultaneous single-cell measurement of surface proteins, chromatin accessibility profiles, and mtDNA-based clonal tracing through a single-cell and massively parallel droplet-based assay of transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq). We demonstrate PHAGE-ATAC for multimodal analysis in primary human immune cells, for multiplexing, for intracellular protein analysis, and for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Finally, we construct a synthetic high-complexity phage library for selection of novel antigen-specific nanobodies that bind cells of particular molecular profiles, opening a new avenue for protein detection, cell characterization and screening with single-cell genomics.

Project description:A single hematopoietic stem cell can give rise to all blood cells with remarkable fidelity. Here, we define the chromatin accessibility and transcriptional landscape controlling this process in thirteen primary cell types that traverse the hematopoietic hierarchy. Exploiting the finding that enhancer landscapes better reflect cell identity than mRNA levels, we enable "enhancer cytometry" for accurate enumeration of pure cell types from complex populations. We further reveal the lineage ontogeny of genetic elements linked to diverse human diseases. In acute myeloid leukemia, chromatin accessibility reveals distinctive regulatory evolution in pre-leukemic HSCs (pHSCs), leukemia stem cells, and leukemic blasts. These leukemic cells demonstrate unique lineage infidelity, confirmed by single cell regulomes. We further show that pHSCs have a competitive advantage that is conferred by reduced chromatin accessibility at HOXA9 targets and is associated with adverse patient outcomes. Thus, regulome dynamics can provide diverse insights into human hematopoietic development and disease. Single-cell ATAC-seq of LMPPs, Monocytes, LSCs and Luekemic blast cells.
