This study details an optimized protocol for single-nuclei RNA sequencing on snap-frozen mouse colon tissue. The method utilizes FLEX library preparation for high-quality molecular profiling of intact nuclei.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Snap-freezing preserves clinical samples but damages cell membranes, hindering traditional single-cell analysis.
  • Single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) offers a solution by profiling intact nuclei from such samples.
  • Efficient protocols are crucial for reliable snRNA-seq on preserved tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an optimized protocol for processing mouse colon tissue for snRNA-seq.
  • To adapt existing methods for FLEX library preparation on fixed samples.
  • To enable high-quality molecular profiling of snap-frozen clinical specimens.

Main Methods:

  • Optimized protocol for mouse colon tissue preparation and dissociation.
  • Nuclei isolation via filtration.
