Comparison of Single Cell Transcriptome Sequencing Methods: Of Mice and Men.

ABSTRACT: Single cell RNAseq has been a big leap in many areas of biology. Rather than investigating gene expression on a whole organism level, this technology enables scientists to get a detailed look at rare single cells or within their cell population of interest. The field is growing, and many new methods appear each year. We compared methods utilized in our core facility: Smart-seq3, PlexWell, FLASH-seq, VASA-seq, SORT-seq, 10X, Evercode, and HIVE. We characterized the equipment requirements for each method. We evaluated the performances of these methods based on detected features, transcriptome diversity, mitochondrial RNA abundance and multiplets, among others and benchmarked them against bulk RNA sequencing. Here, we show that bulk transcriptome detects more unique transcripts than any singl
