Rapid DNA and RNA isolation from few or single cells using low-cost NAxtra magnetic nanoparticles

ABSTRACT: A novel, cost-effective nucleic acid (NA) isolation method for purifying total NA, DNA, or RNA from both two- and three-dimensional cell cultures has been developed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology utilizing NAxtra magnetic nanoparticles. This method achieves comparable yields to existing isolation kits while offering significant improvements in cost and processing speed. However, the original protocol was not optimized for small-cell numbers or single-cell applications. Given the growing interest in single-cell and rare-cell population studies, there is a critical need for more sensitive isolation techniques. In this study, we have enhanced the sensitivity of the NAxtra-based isolation method to facilitate mid- to high-throughput purification from as few as 10,000 cells down to single cells. Automated processing using KingFisher systems enables the rapid handling of 96 samples within 12-18 minutes. Our findings indicate that this method not only matches but can exceed the performance of existing alternatives in (RT)-qPCR detection while being significantly more economical and efficient. Additionally, it enables the extraction of high-quality RNA suitable for transcriptomics analyses from limited cell quantities, including single cells, as indicated by comparison with the Evercode Whole Transcritome v2 kit. This advancement holds substantial promise for improving the accessibility and efficiency of nucleic acid research, particularly in studies involving scarce cellular materials.

Rapid DNA and RNA isolation from few or single cells using low-cost NAxtra magnetic nanoparticles

Project description:A low-cost nucleic acid (NA) isolation method for purification of total NA, DNA or RNA from two- or three-dimensional cell culture was recently developed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) based on NAxtra magnetic nanoparticles. The method displayed similar yields to alternative isolation kits, as well as significant improvement in cost and speed. In molecular research, NA isolation from rare or single cells is of increasing interest. Here, we improved the sensitivity of the NAxtra-based NA isolation method to allow mid- to high-throughput purification from 10 000 cells down to single cells. Automated processing on KingFisher (Thermo Scientific) robot systems can be performed in 12-18 minutes for 96 samples. This method is considerably cheaper and faster than similar purification alternatives, while achieving comparable or superior detection by (RT)-qPCR. In addition, high-quality transcriptomics data can be obtained from RNA extracted from few or single cells.

DMF-scMT-seq Linking Methylome and Transcriptome within Single Cells with Digital Microfluidics

Project description:Single-cell joint analysis of methylome and transcriptome reveals how the methylation regulates the transcriptional activity. However, traditional bench-top protocols for single-cell DNA methylation and RNA transcription co-detection are labor-intensive, cost-ineffective and contaminant-prone. Herein we establish DMF-scMT-seq, a highly-efficient and cost-effective method to simultaneously analyze single-cell DNA methylation and transcriptional activity based on digital microfluidics. DMF-scMT-seq automates the workflow of single-cell isolation, cellular hypotonic lysis, nucleic acid separation and methylome/transcriptome library construction in a contactless and addressable way. The system ensures high accuracy (R>0.85), high gene detection ability (14697 genes per cell at 4 million sequencing depth), and high CpG coverage (677198 CpG sites per cell at 1 million sequencing depth). By using DMF-scMT-seq, the relationship of DNA methylation and RNA transcription under different genomic contexts is resolved. We further apply DMF-scMT-seq to study the dynamics of transcription regulation with methylation-inhibiting anti-tumor Decitabine, and identify the methylated promoter/gene body driven genes in response to Decitabine treatment for the first time. It is anticipated that DMF-scMT-seq provides the potential to characterize the epigenetic regulatory network in other biological single-cell systems.

Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing of Arabidopsis thaliana plant tissues Arabidopsis thaliana using a nanowell-based system

Project description:Single-cell genomics provides unprecedented potential for research on plant development and environmental responses. Here, we introduce a generic procedure for plant nuclei isolation combined with nanowell-based library preparation. Our method enables the transcriptome analysis of thousands of individual plant nuclei. It serves as alternative to the use of protoplast isolation, which is currently the standard methodology for plant single-cell genomics, although it can be challenging for some plant tissues. We show the applicability of our nuclei isolation method by using different plant materials from different species. The potential of our snRNA-seq method is shown through the characterization of transcriptomes of seedlings and developing flowers from Arabidopsis thaliana. We evaluated the transcriptome dynamics during the early stages of anther development, identified stage-specific activities of transcription factors underlying this process and predicted potential target genes of these transcription factors. Our nuclei isolation procedure can be applied in different plant species and tissues, thus expanding the toolkit for plant single-cell genomics experiments.

Compressed Perturb-seq: highly efficient screens for regulatory circuits using random composite perturbations

Project description:Pooled CRISPR screens with single-cell RNA-seq readout (Perturb-seq) have emerged as a key technique in functional genomics, but are limited in scale by cost and combinatorial complexity. Here, we reimagine Perturb-seq’s design through the lens of algorithms applied to random, low-dimensional observations. We present compressed Perturb-seq, in which we measure multiple perturbations per cell or multiple cells per droplet, and decompress these measurements by leveraging the sparse structure of regulatory circuits. Applying compressed Perturb-seq to 598 genes in the immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, we achieve the same accuracy as conventional Perturb-seq at 4 to 20-fold reduced cost, with greater power to learn genetic interactions. We identify known and novel regulators of immune responses and uncover evolutionarily constrained genes with downstream targets enriched for immune disease heritability, including many missed by existing GWAS or trans-eQTL studies. Our framework enables new scales of interrogation for a foundational method in functional genomics.

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics workflows using barcoded capture arrays are commonly used for resolving gene expression in tissues. However, existing techniques are either limited by capture array density or are cost prohibitive for large scale atlasing. We present Nova-ST, a dense nano-patterned spatial transcriptomics technique derived from randomly barcoded Illumina sequencing flow cells. Nova-ST enables customized, low cost, flexible, and high-resolution spatial profiling of large tissue sections. Benchmarking on mouse brain sections demonstrates significantly higher sensitivity compared to existing methods, at reduced cost.

High efficient chromatin conformation capture with post-enrichment (HiChew) in single cells

Project description:We present HiChew (High efficient chromatin conformation capture with post-enrichment), a novel method for analyzing three-dimensional chromatin organization in single cells and low-input samples. HiChew combines efficient sticky-end ligation with post-PCR enrichment using methylation-based selection, addressing key limitations of existing chromatin conformation capture methods. The method achieves significantly higher valid pair ratios (approximately 50%) compared to unenriched methods (8%) while maintaining high capture sensitivity. For single-cell applications, snHiChew demonstrates superior performance with 45-50% valid pair ratios and the ability to generate up to 7.3 million unique valid contacts per cell. This enhanced efficiency enables high-resolution mapping of chromatin interactions at 5-10 kb resolution with 70-80% bin coverage. We validate HiChew's accuracy through comparative analyses with conventional Hi-C data, showing high correlations in compartment scores, topologically associating domains (TADs), and loop detection. The method's scalability and cost-effectiveness make it particularly suitable for large-scale single-cell chromatin conformation studies. HiChew represents a significant advancement in chromatin architecture analysis, offering improved efficiency without compromising data quality or sensitivity.

DIRECT: Digital Microfluidics for Isolation-Free Shared Library Construction of Single-Cell DNA Methylome and Transcriptome

Project description:Integrated single-cell transcriptome and DNA methylome profiling has provided insight into the complex regulatory networks of cells. Existing methods are based on picking a single-cell and performing library construction in a tube, which is costly and cumbersome. Here, we propose DIRECT, a digital microfluidics-based method for simultaneous analysis of the methylome and transcriptome in a single library construction. The accuracy of DIRECT is demonstrated in comparison with bulk and single-omics data, and the high CpG site coverage of DIRECT allows for precise analysis of copy number variation information, enabling expansion of single cell analysis from two- to three-omics. By applying DIRECT to monitor the dynamics of mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation, the relationship between DNA methylation and changes in gene expression during differentiation was revealed. DIRECT enables accurate, robust, and reproducible single-cell DNA methylation and gene expression co-analysis at a lower cost and with greater efficiency, broadening the application scenarios of single-cell multi-omics analysis and revealing a more comprehensive and fine-grained map of cellular regulatory landscapes.

A Sensitive Approach to Map Genome-wide 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine and 5-Formylcytosine at Single-base Resolution

Project description:Mapping genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and 5-formylcytosine (5fC) at single-base resolution is important to understand their biological functions. We present a cost-efficient mapping method that combines 5hmC-specific restriction enzyme PvuRts1I with a 5hmC enrichment method. The sensitive method enables detection of low abundant 5hmC sites, providing a more complete 5hmC landscape than available bisulfite-based methods. This method generated the first genome-wide 5fC map at single-base resolution. Parallel analyses revealed that 5hmC and 5fC existed with lower abundance and more dynamically in non-CpG context than in CpG context. In the genic region, distribution of 5hmCpG and 5fCpG differed from 5hmCH and 5fCH (H=A, T, C). 5hmC and 5fC were distributed distinctly at regulatory protein-DNA binding sites, depleted in permissive transcription factor binding sites, and enriched at active and poised enhancers. This sensitive bisulfite-conversion free method can be applied to biological samples with limited starting material or low abundance of cytosine modifications. Sensitive mapping of genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and 5-formylcytosine in mouse embryonic stem cell at single-base resolution by combining 5-hydroxymethylcytosine specific restriction enzyme PvuRts1I and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine enrichment method (selective chemical labeling or SEAL)
