@10xGenomics buys @CARTANAbio for in situ GX analysis validation

By | September 10th, 2020|Categories: 10X Genomics, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing, Single-cell sequencing|0 Comments

CARTANA in situ sequencing was just bought by 10X Genomics for $41.2 million. They provide a complement to the Visium technology that generates beautiful gene expression maps of tissue sections as seen in Fig 1c of a recent bioRxiv report (see below). The method was […]

Sesquizygosity due to heterogonesis confirmed by @10Xgenomics linked-reads

By | February 28th, 2019|Categories: 10X Genomics, I am not a clinician, Next-generation sequencing|0 Comments

A case report in the New England Journal of Medicine describes a pair of sesquizygotic twins, they share an identical maternal allele, but are chimeric (to different degrees) for two separately identical paternal alleles. The initial ultrasound at 6-weeks showed monozygotic twins, but at 14 weeks it was […]

@10XGenomics now does #spatialomics

By | December 12th, 2018|Categories: 10X Genomics, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing, Single-cell sequencing|0 Comments

10Xgenomics buys Spatial Transcriptomics: Single-cell methods are having at least as big an impact on our understanding of biology as microarrays did when they first appeared in the mid-to-late 1990s. And now that 10X Genomics have bought Spatial Transcriptomics many single-cell users are likely to […]

Single-cell cancer sequencing on BioRxiv

By | October 18th, 2018|Categories: 10X Genomics, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing, Single-cell sequencing|0 Comments

Three recent papers from Sam Apraicio (@sajraparicio) and Sorab Shah (@SohrabShah) are well worth a read on BioRxiv. In June Kieran Cambell posted a paper describing computational methods to integrate single-cell DNA and RNA-Seq data. And in September Camila de Souza and Emma Laks posted reports […]

New products from @10XGenomics #AGBT18 workshop

By | February 14th, 2018|Categories: 10X Genomics, Conferences, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing|0 Comments

The 10XGenomics workshop just closed at AGBT and they announced some truly revolutionary new applications: single-cell feature barcoding, single-cell ATAC-Seq and single-cell CNV (feat CBGB). I’ll go through each of these in more detail below but I wanted to start by highlighting the success of single-cell analysis […]

HMW DNA extraction for long-reads on @nanopore or @10XGenomics

By | March 28th, 2017|Categories: 10X Genomics, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing|9 Comments

Long-reads require long DNA molecules which require high molecular weight (and undamaged) DNA. Extraction with your standard column is unlikely to be optimal. I’m starting to look at the best methods for HMW DNA extraction for long-read applications as my lab is supporting a couple of […]

10X Genomics 10x cheaper…and better too!

By | March 22nd, 2017|Categories: "Experimental design controls etc", 10X Genomics, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing, Single-cell sequencing, Uncategorized|1 Comment

Confession: this post may not actually make your 10X Genomics experiments ten times cheaper…but implement Demuxlet in your workflow and with the right sort of experiment you might just get there! Single-cell RNA-Seq might just have got a whole lot cheaper, thanks to a method […]

Fingerprinting for multiplexed single-cell RNA-seq

By | February 10th, 2017|Categories: "Experimental design controls etc", "My almost"..., 10X Genomics, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing, Single-cell sequencing|Tags: |0 Comments

In this post I describe an idea for using SNP fingerprinting for single-cell RNA-Seq to identify which sample each individual cell comes from in a multiplexed library prep. The reason for my thinking about this is that single-cell experiments are expensive. Although the cost-per-cell can […]

10X Genomics publications

By | September 14th, 2016|Categories: 10X Genomics, Next-generation sequencing|0 Comments

Anyone that’s been reading Core-Genomics will have seen my interest in the technology from 10X Genomics. I’ve been watching and waiting for publications to come out to get a better understanding of how people are using the technology and thought you might like my current […]

10X Genomics phasing explained

By | September 9th, 2016|Categories: 10X Genomics, Next-generation sequencing|3 Comments

This post follows on from my previous one explaining the 10X Genomics single-cell mRNA-seq assay. This time round I’m really reviewing the method as described in a paper recently put up on the BioRxiv by 10X’s Deanna Church and David Jaffe: Direct determination of diploid genome […]
