Abstract
Single-cell genomics allow the characterization and quantification of molecular heterogeneity from a wide variety of tissues. Here, we describe the manual dissociation and collection of single cells, a method adapted for the characterization of precious small tissues like preimplantation embryos. We also describe the acquisition of mouse embryos by flushing of the oviducts. The cells can then be used in multiple sequencing protocols, for example, Smart-seq2, Smart-seq3, smallseq, and scBSseq.
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
