New Services: Sample Multiplexing, Spatial Transcriptomics and Multiomics

The Single Cell Genomics Core has added several exciting new services to its catalogue:

Spatial Transcriptomics

Using the 10x Genomics Visium technology, we can now measure gene expression in the context of tissue specimens. This is a discovery-mode application and requires no a priori knowledge of genes of interest, providing a powerful complement to single cell RNA-seq technologies.

Sample Multiplexing

We leverage barcoded antibody reagents (TotalSeq, BioLegend) as well as lipidated oligos (available in the core) to uniquely barcode individual samples and process in a single reaction on the 10x Chromium platform. This ability to multiplex samples prior to single cell analysis dramatically reduces costs and allows for more robust experimental designs.

Multiomic Analyses

We can now simultaneously generate gene expression as well as chromatin accessibility measurements from the same single cell! This is a powerful application to link regions of the genome with the expression of specific genes, and to identify transcription factor binding motifs likely to mediate this activity.

The Center for Quantitative Biology

By Tim Dean, Dartmouth Medicine, Spring ’20

Single-cell genomics is a rapidly evolving field; having a dedicated center with resources behind it gives us the ability to bring on new technologies, test them, and figure out which ones are best for our needs.

Write Winning Grant Proposals: NIH and NSF Seminars

John Robertson, Ph.D., is returning to campus to present two
seminars on writing winning proposals. The NIH seminar will be December 12th
8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and the NSF seminar will be December 13th 8:30 AM to 12:00
PM. Both seminars will be in the Dartmouth Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center.
