High-Throughput Single-Cell Sequencing with Linear Amplification.

ABSTRACT: Conventional methods for single-cell genome sequencing are limited with respect to uniformity and throughput. Here, we describe sci-L3, a single-cell sequencing method that combines combinatorial indexing (sci-) and linear (L) amplification. The sci-L3 method adopts a 3-level (3) indexing scheme that minimizes amplification biases while enabling exponential gains in throughput. We demonstrate the generalizability of sci-L3 with proof-of-concept demonstrations of single-cell whole-genome sequencing (sci-L3-WGS), targeted sequencing (sci-L3-target-seq), and a co-assay of the genome and transcriptome (sci-L3-RNA/DNA). We apply sci-L3-WGS to profile the genomes of >10,000 sperm and sperm precursors from F1 hybrid mice, mapping 86,786 crossovers and characterizing rare chromosome mis-segregatio
