LUTHOR High-Definition Single-Cell 3’ mRNA-Seq
High-Definition single-cell RNA sequencing
/ haɪ ˌdɛfɪˈnɪʃᵊn ˈsɪŋɡᵊl sɛl ɑːr-ɛn-eɪ ˈsiːkwənsɪŋ/
A single cell typically expresses thousands of different genes at the same time. Most of these genes are represented only in a few copies. High-Definition single-cell RNA sequencing (HD scRNA-Seq) collects any mRNA present in the sample, even those lowly expressed transcripts (less than 10 copies). HD scRNA-Seq, therefore, provides a comprehensive overview of the full transcriptomic status in each cell.
HD scRNA-Seq applications
High-Definition single-cell RNA sequencing works best with ultra-low initial inputs (as low as 10 pg RNA). By seeing more genes than classical bulk scRNA-Seq methods, it expands transcriptomic analysis into new scientific applications.
- High-definition single-cell differential gene expression analysis
- Detailed characterization of cell subpopulations after larger, less sensitive screenings (bulk scRNA-Seq)
- Rare cell RNA analysis (e.g., circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or innate lymphoid cells (ILCs))
- Subcellular (cytoplasm, organelle) RNA analysis
- Single nucleus RNA-Seq
