Single-cell Transcriptome Profiling and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single-cell capture and pre-amplification were conducted on a GemCode instrument (10× Genomics) according to the manufacturer’s ‘instructions (Chromium™ Single Cell 3’ Reagent Kit v2). The generated library was sequenced using the Illumina X10 platform and the generated sequencing reads were aligned and analyzed using the Cell Ranger Pipeline (10× Genomics). The raw count data of each single cell were deposited into the public database of the Genome Sequence Archive for Human (GSA-Human) under accession number HRA000928. Single-cell analysis was conducted using Seurat9 (link). The potential doublet of single-cell data was detected using DoubleFinder10 (link). A connectivity map was constructed according to a previous ligand-receptor dataset35 (link) using CellPhoneDB16 (link). GO analysis was conducted using http://geneontology.org. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) was used to perform deconvolution analysis36 .

GemCode-Based Single-Cell Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The GemCode Instrument from 10x Genomics was used for DNA sample preparation, indexing and barcoding. Around 1 ng of input DNA with a 50-kb length was used for the GEM reactions during PCR, and 16-bp barcodes were introduced into droplets. Then, the droplets were fractured following purification of the intermediate DNA library. Next, we sheared DNA into 500-bp fragments for constructing libraries, which were finally sequenced on NovaSeq.

FFPE Sample Sequencing and Alignment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To compensate for the fragmented nature of samples preserved with FFPE, we prepared sequencing libraries for the primary tumor FFPE sample and matched normal FFPE sample using the GemCode Gel Bead and Library Kit (10X Genomics) and the GemCode instrument (10X Genomics). The barcoded libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq instrument, and the resulting BCL files were demultiplexed and converted to fastq files using bclprocessor (v1.2.0). The aligner function of Long Ranger (v1.2.0) was run to generate aligned bam files. For the FFPE samples, the barcoded nature of the linked reads was used solely to improve alignment of the sequence reads; no phasing was performed for these data as the quality of FFPE samples is not adequate to infer long range haplotypes. Read mapping and sequencing coverage statistics are listed in Additional file 1: Table S2. The GATK (v3.3) DepthOfCoverage tool was used to calculate coverage metrics [24 (link)].

Hybrid Genome Assembly Protocols

A 20 kb insert size PacBio library was built as previously described (Strijk et al., 2019). This library was sequenced on the PacBio RS II platform (Pacific Biosciences), yielding about 37 Gb of data (read quality ≥0.80, mean read length ≥7 Kb). 10× Genomics DNA sample preparation, indexing, and barcoding were done using the GemCode Instrument (10× Genomics). About 0.7 ng of very high molecular weight DNA (N50 ~165 kb, 3% of the DNA >500 kb) was used for GEM reaction procedure during PCR, and 16 bp barcodes were introduced into droplets. Then, the droplets were fractured following the purifying of the intermediate DNA library. Next, we sheared the DNA into 500 bp for fragments constructing libraries, which were then sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq X platform (Illumina Inc.), according to the manufacturer's instructions. The same high molecular weight DNA was used to construct a Bionano optical map using an Irys platform (BioNano Genomics) with the Nt. BspQ1 (8.19 labels/100 kb), of which 95.9 Gb (120.01×, Table 1) data were generated.

Lung Single-Cell Preparation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lung parenchymal tissue preparation and scRNA-Seq sample preparation were performed as previously described (23 (link), 24 (link)). In brief, human lungs specimens were first confirmed to be from the most distal portion of the lung through direct visualization of the pleural lining. The pleural lining was separated from the lung parenchyma and discarded followed by microdissection along the bronchovascular tree. Specimens were then mechanically minced prior to enzymatic digestion with collagenase, dispase and DNase. Samples were then filtered, RBC lysed with ACK lysis buffer,and processed into a single-cell suspension. CD45+ immune cells were depleted using MACS LS columns with CD45 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, 130-045-801) with 2 × 106 cells per column to enhance purity and viability. Following the single-cell suspension, the samples were loaded onto a GemCode instrument (10X Genomics) to generate single-cell barcoded droplets (GEMs) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Barcoded Sequencing for Scaffolding Assemblies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used a GemCode Instrument from 10× Genomics to prepare DNA samples and for automated barcoding. Approximately 1 ng of input DNA was used for the gel-bead-in-emulsion (GEM) reaction. Each input DNA fragment was encapsulated into a GEM and labeled with a unique 10× barcode. GEMs underwent isothermal incubation to generate 10×-barcoded amplicons. Differently barcoded amplicons were mixed and sheared into 500 bp to construct an NGS-ready library. The constructed library was finally sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq X Ten system. The linked reads of the 10× Genomics data were aligned to the contigs generated from PacBio data using bowtie2 with parameters (-D 1 -R 1 -N 0 -L 28 -i S,0,2.50 -n-ceil L,0,0.02 -rdg 5,10 -rfg 5,10 -no-unal), and fragScaff (v2-1)22 (link) was used to build scaffolds using the barcoded sequencing reads with parameters (-fs1 '-m 3,000 -q 30 -E 30,000 -o 60,000′ -fs2 '-C 5′ -fs3 '-j 1 -u 3′).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
