Whole transcriptome amplification, library preparation and sequencing of single cells/nuclei were performed using the Smart-seq2 modified protocol21 (link),33 (link),35 (link),68 (link),69 (link). RNA was purified with Agencourt RNAClean XP beads (Beckman Coulter). Oligo-dT primed reverse transcription (RT) was performed using Maxima H Minus reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies) and a template-switching oligonucleotide (TSO; Qiagen). PCR amplification (20 cycles for scRNA-seq and 22 cycles for snRNA-seq) was performed using KAPA HiFi HotStart ReadyMix (KAPA Biosystems), followed by Agencourt AMPure XP bead (Beckman Coulter) purification. Libraries were generated using the Nextera XT Library Prep kit (Illumina). Libraries from 768 cells with unique barcodes were combined and sequenced using a NextSeq 500/550 High Output Kit v2.5 (Illumina).
