Single-cell Gene Expression Flex analysis on PC9 cells co-cultured with NIH-3T3 cells
The goal of the experiment is to determine whether it is feasible to use the 10x Genomics Gene Expression Flex solution in samples containing a mixture of human and mouse cells. First we tested how the presence of mouse cells impacted the data recovered by the use of the human whole trasnscriptome amplification (WTA) probe sets. Then we profiled a mixed species sample by using human and mouse probe sets in the same reaction. Finally, for samples with lower amounts of human cells we tried to correct the amount of cells recovered by the human and mouse probe sets by adjusting the amount of cells loaded from the respective hybridizations.
