Additional Relevant Details Most scientific studies rely on analysis of bulk tissue samples. These samples are usually composed of multiple cell types with varying functions. Gene expression data is averaged across cells, making it difficult to identify differences between cells and to understand the role of cell variation. Single-cell sequencing addresses those challenges and provides deeper insight into cell function, disease progression and therapeutic response. These data can be important in studies of neurological tissues, for example, which are known to have hundreds of specialized cell types. Using Bio-Rad’s best-in-class droplet partitioning technology and Illumina’s leading NGS technologies, the new solution is optimized to isolate and barcode single cells for downstream sequencing. Data analysis is conducted via BaseSpace, Illumina’s cloud-based genomics computing environment. The solution will be scalable to isolate significantly larger numbers of single cells compared to commercially available solutions today, in just a few minutes at a cost-effective price.
