Comparative analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing methods

ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers new possibilities to address biological and medical questions. However, systematic comparisons of the performance of diverse scRNA-seq protocols are lacking. We generated data from 583 mouse embryonic stem cells to evaluate six prominent scRNA-seq methods: CEL-seq2, Drop-seq, MARS-seq, SCRB-seq, Smart-seq and Smart-seq2. While Smart-seq2 detected the most genes per cell and across cells, CEL-seq2, Drop-seq, MARS-seq and SCRB-seq quantified mRNA levels with less amplification noise due to the use of unique molecular identifiers (UMIs). Power simulations at different sequencing depths showed that Drop-seq is more cost-efficient for transcriptome quantification of large numbers of cells, while MARS-seq, SCRB-seq and Smart-seq2 are more efficient when analyzing fewer cells. Our quantitative comparison offers the basis for an informed choice among six prominent scRNA-seq methods and provides a framework for benchmarking further improvements of scRNA-seq protocols.

CEL-Seq2: sensitive highly-multiplexed single-cell RNA-Seq

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics requires a method that is sensitive, accurate, and reproducible. Here, we present CEL-Seq2, a modified version of our CEL-Seq method, with three-fold higher sensitivity, lower costs, and less hands-on time. We also implemented CEL-Seq2 on Fluidigm’s C1 system, thereby providing its first single-cell, on-chip barcoding method, and detected gene expression changes accompanying the progression through the cell cycle in mouse fibroblast cells. We also compare with Smart-Seq to demonstrate CEL-Seq2’s increased sensitivity relative to other available methods. Collectively, the improvements make CEL-Seq2 uniquely suited to single-cell RNA-Seq analysis in terms of economics, resolution, and ease of use

Single-cell RNA sequencing with molecular spikes to determine RNA counting accuracy

Project description:Molecule counting is central to single-cell sequencing, yet no experimental strategy to evaluate counting performance exist. Here, we introduce RNA spike-ins containing inbuilt unique molecular identifiers (molecular spikes) that we use to monitor single-cell RNA counting performance across methods and to identify experimental steps essential for accurate counting. In this dataset, we add molecular spikes to popular single-cell RNA-seq protocols: SCRB-seq, Smart-seq3 and 10x Genomics (v2). For SCRB-seq and Smart-seq3, we also include variations of the library preparation procedure that are suspected to lead to changes in the UMI counting accuracy.

scRNA-seq of mESC and mouse CD4+ cells using different buffers and enzymes

Project description:Existing protocols for full-length single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) produce libraries of high complexity (thousands of distinct genes) with outstanding sensitivity and specificity of transcript quantification. These full-length libraries have the advantage of allowing probing of transcript isoforms, are informative regarding single nucleotide polymorphisms, and allow assembly of the VDJ region of the T- and B-cell receptor sequences. Since full length protocols are mostly plate-based at present, they are also suited to profiling cell types where cell numbers are limiting, such as rare cell types during development for instance. A disadvantage of these methods has been the scalability and cost of the experiments, which has limited their popularity as compared to droplet-based and nanowell approaches. Here, we describe an automated protocol for full-length scRNA-seq, including both an in-house automated SMART-seq2 protocol, and a commercial kit-based workflow. We discuss these two protocols in terms of ease-of-use, equipment requirements, running time, cost per sample and sequencing quality. By benchmarking the lysis buffers, reverse transcription enzymes and their combinations, we propose an optimized in-house automated protocol with dramatically reduced cost. These pipelines have been employed successfully for several research projects allied with the Human Cell Atlas initiative (www.humancellatlas.org) and are available on protocols.io.

Project description:We used scRNA-seq data generated using Smart-seq2 to reconstruct the native TCR from Ag-specific T cells and then to link these with the gene expression profile of individual cells. antigen specific CD8 T cells were obtained from a subject who had previously cleared hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. A cell line was also generated from the same subject and included in the analysis with and without antigen stimulation.
