GSM2151552: G4_mel; Homo sapiens; RNA-Seq
Single melanoma cells from short-term cultures were captured on an integrated fluidic circuit RNA-seq chip (Fluidigm, Hamburg, Germany) using the Fluidigm C1 system. Cells were loaded onto the chip at a concentration of 200 cells/μL and imaged by phase-contrast. Cell capture, cell lysis, reverse transcription, and cDNA amplification were performed on the chip as described (Camp et al., 2015). Illumina libraries were constructed using the Illumina Nextera XT DNA Sample Preparation kit using the protocol supplied by Fluidigm. Ninety-six libraries were pooled (3 µL each) and purified with SPRI beads. Library concentration and size distribution were assessed on an Agilent Bioanalyzer and with Qubit dsDNA HS Assay kits and a Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Invitrogen, Darmstadt).  Each cell was paired-end sequenced (100 base reads) on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 to a depth of 2–5 million reads and base-calling, adaptor trimming, and de-multiplexing were performed as described (Renaud et al., 2013; Renaud et al., 2015).
