Figure 5.
Whole transcriptome analysis of sorted single and pooled cells. (a) RNA sequencing was conducted on single cells (n = 11), 10-cell (n = 12) and 100-cell (N = 6) pools, and bulk RNA (n = 2) from PD798 cells pre-enriched and sorted from whole blood. Expression of selected hematopoietic lineage genes is extremely low or undetectable in all sorted cell populations, indicating high purity. Scale refers to log 2 TPM (transcripts per million). (b) Principal component analysis of gene expression of the 1,000 most variable genes in the different sorted cell populations or bulk RNA. (c) Correlation matrix comparing gene expression profile (13,817 genes) of single cells to the sum of all profiles (Synth 10) and the average of 10 cell pools (Ave 10). Scale refers to Pearson correlation coefficient. SC: Single cell.
