Resolving cellular systems by ultra-sensitive and economical single-cell transcriptome filtering
Preprint
Abstract
Single-cell transcriptomics has sensitivity limits that restrict low abundance transcript identification, affects clustering and introduce artefact. Here, we describe Constellation DropSeq (C-DropSeq), a molecular transcriptome filter that delivers two orders of magnitude sensitivity gains by maximising read utility while reducing sequencing depth and costs. The simple and powerful method is broadly compatible with library preparation routines and was demonstrated by identifying and characterizing the activation of rare dendritic cell sub-populations.Keywords
