Download or read book Multiplex Single cell RNA Sequencing for Chemical Genomics and Spatial Transcriptomics written by Sanjay R. Srivatsan and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us begins life as a single fertilized cell. Following a seemingly predetermined set of cell divisions, the single cell morphs into a rough mass, then a hollowed tube, and finally becomes a recognizable neonatal form. How the information contained within a single cell si- multaneously specifies an organism’s anatomy, the construction of its organs, and the ability to cogitate on this very question, remains one of biology’s open questions. Although centuries of careful experiments devoted to characterizing development have revealed many important genes and mechanisms, the results of these experiments span different model organisms, developmental stages, cell populations and measurement modalities. Integrating this knowledge base into coher- ent representation requires a cellular scaffold that charts an organism’s development over the axes of time and space. Preliminary unified representations of developing organisms (e.g. C. Elegans, Zebrafish and Mouse) have been created by large-scale single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) efforts. These efforts have characterized the set of intermediates through which differentiating cells transit and have profiled the large number of cell types present in a developing organism. Although scRNA-seq data have proven powerful in cataloging cellular states, they lack crucial context: i) the experimental context afforded by the comparison of multiple conditions (e.g. wild-type vs. perturbation) and ii) a cell’s spatial context, a crucial factor driving its behavior. To address these knowledge gaps, over the course of my PhD I have developed two scRNA-seq technologies: 1) sci- Plex, a generalizable strategy to label cell populations and 2) sci-Space, a methodology to record acell’s spatial position in conjunction with its single cell transcriptome. (1) First I developed the sci-Plex protocol, an inexpensive and efficient method to label single cells through the chemical fixation of unmodified single stranded oligos to nuclei prior to scRNA- seq library preparation. To demonstrate proof-of-concept of the sci-Plex protocol, I performed a high-throughput, high-content drug screen at single cell resolution in 3 cancer cell lines; effectively conducting 4,500 independent scRNA-seq experiments at once. The resulting dataset enabled characterization of a drug’s potency, class, mechanism of action, and the heterogeneity of cellular responses induced upon drug treatment. For example, our scRNA-seq data showed that histone deacetylase inhibitors likely lead to cell death by trapping valuable acetyl molecules on chromatin. (2) Next, I extended the application of the sci-Plex protocol and developed the sci-Space method to capture spatial information from sectioned tissue. The fast and scalable sci-Space method uses patterned oligonucleotide barcodes in a regular array such that each spot contains a unique set of sequences. Then, to mark each nucleus’ coordinates on the grid, the barcodes are stamped onto a tissue section prior to disaggregation and library preparation. To showcase the power of sci-Space, I collected a dataset comprising over 120,000 cells originating from 14 sections of a single E14 mouse embryo. The resulting data uncovers the genes that drive the devel- oping organism’s body plan and reveals a widespread migration signature within neurons that form the developing brain. These data also provide a quantitative assessment of how cell state relates to spatial position within the developing embryo. Specifically, our estimates indicate that 25% of the variance in gene expression observed is attributable to spatial position. It is my hope that this technology will power the generation of a unified scaffold of development akin to the reference genome. I believe that such a unified representation will be instrumental in amassing data, accel- erating discovery and facilitating translation through the training of machine learning models of cellular state.
Download or read book Introduction to Single Cell Omics written by Xinghua Pan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single-cell omics is a progressing frontier that stems from the sequencing of the human genome and the development of omics technologies, particularly genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics and proteomics, but the sensitivity is now improved to single-cell level. The new generation of methodologies, especially the next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, plays a leading role in genomics related fields; however, the conventional techniques of omics require number of cells to be large, usually on the order of millions of cells, which is hardly accessible in some cases. More importantly, harnessing the power of omics technologies and applying those at the single-cell level are crucial since every cell is specific and unique, and almost every cell population in every systems, derived in either vivo or in vitro, is heterogeneous. Deciphering the heterogeneity of the cell population hence becomes critical for recognizing the mechanism and significance of the system. However, without an extensive examination of individual cells, a massive analysis of cell population would only give an average output of the cells, but neglect the differences among cells. Single-cell omics seeks to study a number of individual cells in parallel for their different dimensions of molecular profile on genome-wide scale, providing unprecedented resolution for the interpretation of both the structure and function of an organ, tissue or other system, as well as the interaction (and communication) and dynamics of single cells or subpopulations of cells and their lineages. Importantly single-cell omics enables the identification of a minor subpopulation of cells that may play a critical role in biological process over a dominant subpolulation such as a cancer and a developing organ. It provides an ultra-sensitive tool for us to clarify specific molecular mechanisms and pathways and reveal the nature of cell heterogeneity. Besides, it also empowers the clinical investigation of patients when facing a very low quantity of cell available for analysis, such as noninvasive cancer screening with circulating tumor cells (CTC), noninvasive prenatal diagnostics (NIPD) and preimplantation genetic test (PGT) for in vitro fertilization. Single-cell omics greatly promotes the understanding of life at a more fundamental level, bring vast applications in medicine. Accordingly, single-cell omics is also called as single-cell analysis or single-cell biology. Within only a couple of years, single-cell omics, especially transcriptomic sequencing (scRNA-seq), whole genome and exome sequencing (scWGS, scWES), has become robust and broadly accessible. Besides the existing technologies, recently, multiplexing barcode design and combinatorial indexing technology, in combination with microfluidic platform exampled by Drop-seq, or even being independent of microfluidic platform but using a regular PCR-plate, enable us a greater capacity of single cell analysis, switching from one single cell to thousands of single cells in a single test. The unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) allow the amplification bias among the original molecules to be corrected faithfully, resulting in a reliable quantitative measurement of omics in single cells. Of late, a variety of single-cell epigenomics analyses are becoming sophisticated, particularly single cell chromatin accessibility (scATAC-seq) and CpG methylation profiling (scBS-seq, scRRBS-seq). High resolution single molecular Fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) and its revolutionary versions (ex. seqFISH, MERFISH, and so on), in addition to the spatial transcriptome sequencing, make the native relationship of the individual cells of a tissue to be in 3D or 4D format visually and quantitatively clarified. On the other hand, CRISPR/cas9 editing-based In vivo lineage tracing methods enable dynamic profile of a whole developmental process to be accurately displayed. Multi-omics analysis facilitates the study of multi-dimensional regulation and relationship of different elements of the central dogma in a single cell, as well as permitting a clear dissection of the complicated omics heterogeneity of a system. Last but not the least, the technology, biological noise, sequence dropout, and batch effect bring a huge challenge to the bioinformatics of single cell omics. While significant progress in the data analysis has been made since then, revolutionary theory and algorithm logics for single cell omics are expected. Indeed, single-cell analysis exert considerable impacts on the fields of biological studies, particularly cancers, neuron and neural system, stem cells, embryo development and immune system; other than that, it also tremendously motivates pharmaceutic RD, clinical diagnosis and monitoring, as well as precision medicine. This book hereby summarizes the recent developments and general considerations of single-cell analysis, with a detailed presentation on selected technologies and applications. Starting with the experimental design on single-cell omics, the book then emphasizes the consideration on heterogeneity of cancer and other systems. It also gives an introduction of the basic methods and key facts for bioinformatics analysis. Secondary, this book provides a summary of two types of popular technologies, the fundamental tools on single-cell isolation, and the developments of single cell multi-omics, followed by descriptions of FISH technologies, though other popular technologies are not covered here due to the fact that they are intensively described here and there recently. Finally, the book illustrates an elastomer-based integrated fluidic circuit that allows a connection between single cell functional studies combining stimulation, response, imaging and measurement, and corresponding single cell sequencing. This is a model system for single cell functional genomics. In addition, it reports a pipeline for single-cell proteomics with an analysis of the early development of Xenopus embryo, a single-cell qRT-PCR application that defined the subpopulations related to cell cycling, and a new method for synergistic assembly of single cell genome with sequencing of amplification product by phi29 DNA polymerase. Due to the tremendous progresses of single-cell omics in recent years, the topics covered here are incomplete, but each individual topic is excellently addressed, significantly interesting and beneficial to scientists working in or affiliated with this field.

Book excerpt: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a technique that measures the transcriptional profile of the samples at single-cell resolution. Such a breakthrough technique brings the genomic study to an entirely new level, providing potential to understand some of the fundamental problems in biology, including gene expression, cell differentiation, cancer progression, and many more. With the help from statisticians, bioinformaticians and computer scientists, pipelines have been developed to process and analyze the huge amount of information from scRNA-seq experiments. However, challenges remain as customization is still needed depending on specific input dataset. In this study, we applied scRNA-seq to mouse embryos at early organogenesis to understand the cell type dynamics and gene regulations during development, using a variety of data analysis tools with experimental validation. In Chapter 1, we introduced our data analysis pipeline for analyzing large-scale high-heterogeneity dataset obtained from mouse whole embryos at E11.5, and presented a complete catalog of cell types using an integrated annotation approach. In Chapter 2, we extended such a pipeline to time-series datasets from mouse embryos at different stages, by successful removal of batch effects and integration of multiple datasets we provided insights into how cell types emerge and disappear during embryogenesis. In Chapter 3, we focused on the gene expression pattern revealed by scRNA-seq datasets, and presented a novel approach to identify housekeeping genes from these datasets. In Chapter 4, we have investigated the scRNA-seq datasets from a completely different perspective, treating genes as samples and clustered genes into groups with similar biological functions named 'metagene', and successfully using metagene as a novel approach to understand genes with unknown functions. Our results showed the possibility of using scRNA-seq as a powerful tool to understand mouse embryonic development from different perspectives, and provided valuable data that could be used for more detailed studies on specific cell types or genes.
