GSM8244485: Pancreatic islets, non-diabetic, biological replicate 11; Homo sapiens; RNA-Seq
Islet cells were then dispersed using TrypLE (Thermofischer), and immediately evaluated for viability (90.61±3.04%) by Cellometer Automated Cell Counter (Nexcelom Bioscience) prior to single cell RNAseq library preparation. For 10x single cell RNAseq library preparation, 5000-6500 individual live cells per sample were targeted by using 10x Single Cell 3' RNAseq technology provided by 10x Genomics (10X Genomics Inc). Briefly, viable single cell suspensions were partitioned into nanoliter-scale Gel Beads-In-EMulsion (GEMs). Full-length barcoded cDNAs were then generated and amplified by PCR to obtain sufficient mass for library construction. Following enzymatic fragmentation, end-repair, A-tailing, and adaptor ligation, single cell 3' libraries comprising standard Illumina P5 and P7 paired-end constructs were generated. Library quality controls were performed by using Agilent High Sensitive DNA kit with Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent) and quantified by Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (ThermoFisher).
