ATTENTION ⚠️
In Observance of U.S. Holiday, Independence Day, Agilent Cross Lab/ iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Monday July 4th, 2022. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Tuesday July 5th, 2022. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/ email subject or press "1", when prompted, to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone and we will prioritize those requests first.
The Texas A&M Institute for Genome Sciences and Society (TIGSS) manages a molecular genomics laboratory with shared equipment to support genomics-based research at Texas A&M University. TIGSS offers training and experimental support for many technologies upstream of sequence generation. Equipment available for use includes the Fluidigm C1 single-cell system for extraction and isolation of nucleic acids and template preparation for sequencing or qPCR from single cells. The Fluidigm Biomark HD system for high-throughput real-time or end-point PCR in nanoliter volumes is also available for single cell analysis. Further equipment available for the generation of single cell sequencing libraries include the Eppendorf epMotion 5075 robot for library preparation, the Agilent Tape Station and BioTek Cytation 5 for library quality control, and the Illumina MiSeq or NextSeq 500 for generation of up to 400 million single end or 800 million paired end sequencing reads per run.

10x Single Cell mRNA Library Prep (per sample) |
Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression provides mRNA profiling at single cell resolution. Transcriptomes are analyzed on a cell-by-cell basis through the use of microfluidic partitioning to capture single cells and prepare barcoded, next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries. Specifically, single cells, reverse transcription (RT) reagents, Gel Beads containing barcoded oligonucleotides, and partitioning oil are combined on a microfluidic chip to form nanoliter-scale reaction vesicles. Within each reaction vesicle, a single cell is lysed, the Gel Bead is dissolved to free the identically barcoded RT oligonucleotides into solution, and reverse transcription of polyadenylated mRNA occurs. As a result, all cDNAs from a single cell will have the same barcode, allowing the sequencing reads to be mapped back to their single cells of origin. The preparation of NGS libraries from these barcoded cDNAs is then carried out in a highly efficient bulk reaction. |
