Single-cell multi-omics sequencing for protein profiling together with their specific applications, results and data sources.
Method | Data source | Molecular layers | Objective and outcome(s) | Platform(s) |
---|---|---|---|---|
PEA [55] | N/A | Panel of up to 96 RNAs and proteins for individual cells from the same population. | To interrogate cell state and find the corresponding cell functions. For most gene products, only a small portion of the variation of protein levels could be explained by measuring mRNA levels in single cells. | the Fluidigm BioMark HD System |
REAP-seq [56] | GSE100501 | mRNA expression level coupled with 82 antibodies among single cells. | To identify drug response and describe the unknown cell type. | Illumina HiSeq 2500 and 10X Genomics |
CITE-seq [57] | GSE100866 | Cellular proteins and transcriptomes for thousands of single cells. | To combine highly multiplexed protein marker detection with unbiased transcriptome profiling for thousands of single cells. Multimodal data analysis could achieve a more detailed characterization of cellular phenotypes than transcriptome measurements alone. | Illumina HiSeq 2500 |
Morita et al. [58] | GSE156934 | DNA mutation and cell-surface immunophenotype at the single-cell level in 26 AML patients. | To unravel clonal diversity and evolution patterns of AML. Systematic investigation of predictive and prognostic impact of clonal diversity in AML was possible. | Illumina Human Omni 2.5 BeadChip (hg19) and Mission Bio Tapestri Analysis Pipeline |
DBiT-seq [38] | GSE137986 | mRNAs, proteins and spatial information in a formaldehyde-fixed tissue slide. | To dissect the initiation of early organogenesis at the whole embryo scale. Deterministic barcoding in tissue enabled NGS-based spatial multi-omics mapping. | Illumina HiSeq 4000 (Mus musculus) |
ASAP-seq [59] | GSE156478 | Chromatin accessibility and protein levels in single cells. | To decipher the underlying regulatory mechanisms at their respective genomic loci. | NextSeq 550 |
Miles et al.[60] | dbGAP (phs002049.v1.p1) | Protein expression and mutational information in 17 samples from patients with AML. | To find the correlation of somatic genotype and clonal architecture with immunophenotype. Multiple overlapping immunophenotypic states occurred across samples with divergent genotypes; no community was exclusive to an individual sample. | Illumina NovaSeq and Mission Bio Tapestri Insights |
