@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 […]

@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 […]

Single-cell indexing for methylation analysis (sci-MET)

By | June 8th, 2018|Categories: Library Prep, Methods and applications, Single-cell sequencing|0 Comments

Andrew Adey’s group at OHSU published sci-MET – a single cell method for whole-genome methylation analysis in Nature Biotech last month: Highly scalable generation of DNA methylation profiles in single cells. In this they described their indexing method and report on an analysis of over 3000 […]

SPLiT-Seq: single-cell RNA-Seq without the hardware

By | November 24th, 2017|Categories: Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing, Single-cell sequencing|Tags: , , |1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to write up a post on a BioRxiv report from earlier this year: “Scaling single cell transcriptomics through split pool barcoding”1. The Seelig Lab at the University of Washington have developed a single-cell RNA sequencing method to enable labelling RNA molecules with cell-of-origin information using […]

Single-cell analysis improved with consensus clustering

By | March 28th, 2017|Categories: Next-generation sequencing, Single-cell sequencing|0 Comments

Anyone interested in single-cell RNA-Seq analysis is likely to be interested in a paper published today by the Sanger in Nature Methods: Kiselev et al. (2017) SC3: consensus clustering of single-cell RNA-seq data. The new single-cell clustering tool performs better than 5 other methods: tSNE + k-means […]

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 […]

#AGBT17

This years #AGBT17 did not look as exciting as previous years have done, especially with all the major announcements being made at JP Morgan. In fact Illumina even went as far as to say they’d have no news at all during the conference! However there was […]

Understanding a 10XGenomics Cell ranger QC report

By | February 14th, 2017|Categories: "Experimental design controls etc", Single-cell sequencing|Tags: , |5 Comments

This post: “Understanding your 10XGenomics cell ranger report” originally appeared on my labs group blog but I thought that people working with single-cell who are at AGBT might like to read it too. Understanding your @10Xgenomics cell ranger reports The 10X Genomics Cell Ranger analysis […]

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 […]
