GSE135497 (mouse): Targeted single-cell transcriptome readouts for high-throughput genetics and functional genomics

Bulk RNA sequencing

We show that targeted single-cell RNA-sequencing (TAP-seq) permits reliable mapping of cell (sub)types with as little as 100 reads per cell and reduces the sequencing costs for differential expression testing by a factor of 10-30, thereby enabling a cost-effective profiling of a large number of genotypes at the single cell level. We demonstrate the use of TAP-seq by generating comprehensive perturbation-based enhancer-target gene maps for 1.5% of the human genome. SOURCE: Lars Velten (lars.velten@embl.de) - Steinmetz Lab EMBL
