Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a single-cell multi-omics library and a construction method thereof. Background Art
[0002] There are currently two main methods for single-cell sequencing: one is to spatially isolate single cells using microfluidics, microplates, etc., and the other is to distinguish single cells by combining labeling based on cell labeling technology. Most commercialized single-cell sequencing technologies are based on spatial isolation, such as 10x Genomics' single-cell library construction solution. Its advantage is that it is simple to operate. Researchers only need to complete the preparation of single-cell suspensions to access 10x's library construction process. The disadvantage is that the cell throughput is not high enough, and a single library construction can only detect about 10,000 cells, and it is expensive.
[0003] Combinatorial cell labeling technology does not require spatial separation of single cells, but rather uses multiple random barcode labels to give each cell a unique combination label. Currently, single-cell sequencing technologies developed using combinatorial labeling technology include sci-RNA-seq, sci-CAR, sci-ATAC-seq, SPLiT-seq, Paired-seq, SHARE-seq, etc. Taking SPLiT-seq as an example, this method disperses the reverse-transcribed cells into a 96-well plate, with a unique barcode connected to the cDNA in each well, and then collects the cells, and performs the second and third rounds of barcode connection in the same way, so that each cell has a unique combination barcode to distinguish it from other cells.
[0004] sci-CAR first completed the construction of single-cell multi-omics libraries through combined labeling technology, which means that it can simultaneously detect mRNA and chromatin development regions in a single cell. However, sci-CAR uses a small number of combined labels, so the cell throughput of the detection is low.
[0005] Paired-seq is a single-cell multi-omics technology developed by Ren Bing's team at the University of California. This technology can increase the detection throughput to 10^6 through 4 rounds of barcode labeling. The technology first uses Tn5 transposase with barcode and restriction sites to transpose the cell nucleus, then performs reverse transcription reaction, connects three rounds of barcodes to cDNA and Tn5 labeled DNA at the same time, and separates and sequences the library after library amplification by restriction digestion (see Figure 1 ).
[0006] SHARE-seq is a single-cell multi-omics sequencing technology developed by Jason D. Buenrostro and Aviv Regev's team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Compared with paired-seq, this technology changes the Tn5 transposition conditions and library separation conditions, and can detect mRNA in the cytoplasm. This technology first uses Nextera Tn5 transposase for transposition, and then uses primers modified with biotin for reverse transcription. After three rounds of barcode connection, cross-linking is removed, and the library is separated and sequenced using streptavidin magnetic beads (see Figure 2 ).
[0007] Paired-seq cannot detect mRNA in the cytoplasm and requires the construction of 8 Tn5 transposases, which has a high technical threshold. SHARE-seq requires the construction of two Tn5 transposases, which can detect mRNA in the cytoplasm. The data quality is higher than that of Paired-seq, but the library structure of SHARE-seq is not suitable for the PE150 sequencing method commonly used by existing sequencing companies. A custom sequencing program is required, and the sequencing quotes of domestic sequencing companies are very expensive, so the sequencing cost of SHARE-seq libraries is very high. Summary of the invention
[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a single-cell multi-omics library and a method for constructing the same. The method reconstructs the Tn5 insertion sequence for barcode connection, and the library structure is similar to SPLiT-seq and Paired-seq, which is suitable for PE150 sequencing, and the sequencing cost is greatly reduced compared to SHARE-seq.
[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the permeabilization treatment agent is 0.1% NP40, 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.01-0.05% Digitonin, etc., which are suitable for different cell types. After the permeabilization treatment, the cells can pass through the reaction reagent.
[0023] In some embodiments, in step (2), the reverse transcription primer is modified with biotin. The present invention utilizes biotin to modify the reverse transcription primer, performs reverse transcription in cells, adds streptavidin magnetic beads to the reverse transcription product, binds the cDNA modified with biotin to the streptavidin magnetic beads, and separates the ATAC library from the cDNA library by capturing the magnetic beads.
[0024] In step (4) of the present invention, the cells obtained after the reverse transcription reaction in step (3) are labeled using barcode primers, and 96 labels are provided in each round. After three rounds of barcode labeling, a total of 96*96*96=884,736 combination labels can be generated. Each cell will carry a combination label and be distinguished from other cells by the combination label.
[0025] Specifically, the primers for the first round of Barcode labeling include Round1 linker and Round1 barcode; the primers for the second round of Barcode labeling include Round2 linker and Round2 barcode; the primers for the third round of Barcode labeling include Round3 linker and Round3 barcode;

Those skilled in the art can refer to the contents of this article and appropriately improve the process parameters to achieve the same. It should be noted in particular that all similar substitutions and modifications are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are all considered to be included in the present invention.

[0050] Terminology explanation:
[0051] Single cell multi-omics sequencing: Developed based on single-cell library construction technology and high-throughput second-generation sequencing technology, it is a single-cell multi-omics technology that can simultaneously detect two or more types of omics information such as transcriptome, genome, epigenome, proteome or spatial state at the single-cell level.
[0052] Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq): high-throughput sequencing of the RNA that can be transcribed from the genes in the entire genome of a specific cell in a certain functional state, mainly including mRNA and non-coding RNA.
[0053] ATAC-seq: There are open areas between chromatin nucleosomes. The modified Tn5 transposase is used to design the transposed DNA into sequencing adapters, which are then directly introduced into the open chromatin for sequencing.
[0054] Transposition: Use the modified Tn5 transposase to insert specific sequences into open chromatin regions.
[0055] Reverse transcription: The process of synthesizing DNA using RNA as a template, that is, DNA synthesis under the guidance of RNA. In this process, the nucleic acid synthesis and transcription (DNA to RNA) process is opposite to the flow direction of genetic information (RNA to DNA), so it is called reverse transcription.
[0056] Decrosslinking of fixed cells: After the cells are fixed, the DNA crosslinked to the protein is released in the presence of high temperature, high salt, SDS and proteinase K.
[0057] DNA magnetic bead purification product: Utilizing the characteristic of DNA magnetic beads to preferentially adsorb large fragments, a certain proportion of magnetic beads can be used to adsorb fragments above a certain size to obtain DNA of the desired size range.
[0058] Unless otherwise specified, the test materials used in the present invention are all common commercial products and can be purchased in the market.
[0059] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments:

[0213] Example 2
[0214] The library constructed in Example 1 was compared with the 10x platform or SHARE-seq, and the results were as follows:

[0216] 2: In the ATAC library, the FRiTSS (TSS enrichment ratio) is relatively low. Different samples may also cause this difference. The FRiTSS of the 3T3 cell line of xseq is not much different from that of the 3T3 cell line of SHARE (see Figure 5 );
[0217] 3: In the RNA library, the number of genes detected per cell is not much different compared with SHARE-seq (see Figure 6 );
[0218] 4: In the RNA library, the number of UMIs (unique transcripts) detected in each cell is similar compared to SHARE-seq (see Figure 7 ).
[0219] The above results show that the quality of the ATAC library and RNA library constructed by the present invention is comparable to that of the 10x platform and SHARE-seq, with little difference.
[0220] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention.
