Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Current single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods rely on microfluidic devices and complex fluid handling.
  • These requirements limit accessibility and scalability for researchers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simplified, hardware-independent method for single-cell encapsulation and barcoding.
  • To create a scalable and flexible workflow for next-generation single-cell sequencing.

Main Methods:

  • Particle-templated instant partition sequencing (PIP-seq) utilizes particle-templated emulsification.
  • Single-cell encapsulation and cDNA barcoding occur in uniform droplet emulsions using a vortexer.
  • Accommodates various formats like microwell plates and conical tubes for high-throughput processing.

Main Results:

  • PIP-seq generates high-purity transcriptomes, validated in mouse-human mixing studies.
  • The method is compatible with multiomics measurements.
  • Accurate cell type characterization in human breast tissue was achieved, comparable to commercial platforms.
  • Revealed hidden cellular heterogeneity in chemotherapy-resistant acute leukemia cells.

Conclusions:

  • PIP-seq is a simple, flexible, and scalable workflow for single-cell sequencing.
  • It overcomes limitations of current microfluidic-based approaches.
  • Expands the application scope of single-cell sequencing technologies.
