Abstract
The 10x Genomics Multiome assay enables simultaneous profiling of gene expression and open chromatin within the same cell across thousands of cells (ref 1-2), offering a comprehensive view of cellular regulation. By integrating RNA sequencing with assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (ATAC), this multiomic approach enhances the resolution of cell states, identifies drivers of differential gene expression, and reveals cells with similar transcriptional profiles but distinct chromatin landscapes. By linking open chromatin regions to gene expression at single-cell resolution, this technology could provide deeper mechanistic insights into dynamic gene regulatory networks, particularly in the context of directed lineage differentiation from diverse hiPSC lines.
Nuclei isolation
Nuclei isolation
For 10x multiome sequencing analysis of hiPSCs and their differentiated progenies, we followed the standard protocol of nuclei isolation from 10x Genomics (see below).
