Single-cell mRNA sequencing can dissect heterogeneous cell populations as it can identify cell types and cellular states based on their unique transcriptional signatures. We use fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate individual cultured neurons derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) followed by polyA-based Smart-Seq2 RNA sequencing to analyze the single-cell transcriptional profiles. We provide protocols and guidelines on dissociation, cell selection, and library preparation that can be readily adapted to other cell types or tissue samples.
单细胞 mRNA 测序可以对异质细胞群体进行剖析,因为它可以根据细胞的独特转录特征来鉴定细胞类型和细胞状态。我们使用荧光激活细胞分选(FACS)分离来自人诱导多能干细胞(hiPSC)的单个培养神经元,然后进行基于 polyA 的 Smart-Seq2 RNA 测序,以分析单细胞转录谱。我们提供了关于解离、细胞选择和文库制备的方案和指南,这些方案和指南可以很容易地适应其他细胞类型或组织样本。
