DOI:10.1039/C2LC21147E Overview ¶Īn overview of how a droplet based scRNA-seq method works is illustrated in a figure from the Drop-seq Macosko et al. Guo, Rotem, Heyman and Weitz, Droplet microfluidics for high-throughput biological assays, 2012. Song, Chen, Ismagilov, Reactions in droplets in microfluidic channels, 2006. DOI:10.1016/j.cell.2015.04.044 - descibes inDrops.īoth of the methods makes use of developments in microfluidics published in: Klein et al., Droplet barcoding for single-cell transcriptomics applied to embryonic stem cells, 2015. Macosko et al., Highly parallel genome-wide expression profiling of individual cells using nanoliter droplets, 2015. Droplet-based methods ¶ĭroplet based single-cell RNA-seq methods were popularized by a pair of papers published concurrently in 2015: We therefore restrict this exposition to droplet-based technologies. + p.theme_minimal(base_family='DejaVu Sans') # if not 0 p.geom_bar(stat='identity', color='grey') Tdf = tdf.map(lambda s: t_dict.get(s, 'Other')) Sns.set_context("notebook", font_scale=1.5, rc= Warnings.filterwarnings("ignore") # plotnine has a lot of MatplotlibDeprecationWarning's # Only pandas >= v0.25.0 supports column names with spaces in querys
10X CHROMIUM DROPLET BASED INSTALL
In addition to running on Google Colab, the notebook can be downloaded and run locally on any machine which has python3 Install packagesįrom mizani.formatters import date_format As such it requires the installation of some python packages, which are installed with the commands below.

It downloads data and performs computations. The kallistobus.tools tutorials site has a extensive list of tutorials and vignettes on single-cell RNA-seq.
10X CHROMIUM DROPLET BASED HOW TO
To learn how to pre-process and analyze single-cell RNA-seq explore the following Google Colab notebooks that explain how to go from reads to results: Here we introduce some of the key concepts of single-cell RNA-seq technologies, with a focus on droplet based methods. Among such methods, single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is having a profound impact on biology. The rapid development of single-cell genomics methods starting in 2009 has created unprecedented opportunity for highly resolved measurements of cellular states. ¶ *Division of Biology and Biological Engineering, California Institute of Technology ¶ Based on material taught in Caltech course Bi/BE/CS183 by Lior Pachter and Matt Thomson, with contributions from Sina Booeshaghi, Lambda Lu, Jialong Jiang, Eduardo Beltrame, Jase Gehring, Ingileif Hallgrímsdóttir and Valentine Svensson. *Division of Biology and Biological Engineering, California Institute of TechnologyĪn introduction to single-cell RNA-seq ¶ Written by Sina Booeshaghi* and Lior Pachter*.
