Droplets are pooled

Illumina bridge Amplification

4 of 9

Similarities

  • Droplet-based
  • Beads with oligos
  • Use of Cell Barcode primers
  • Use of UMI
  • Poly(dT) for capture

Droplet Generation

Barcoded primer bead

5 of 9

  • Different protocols.
  • UMI (8 nt vs 12 nt)
  • CB (12 nt vs 16 nt)
  • Beads hard/dissolvable.
  • Different capture efficiency (RT out/in of droplets).
  • Drop-seq (2015) is a protocol. 10X (2017) a whole commercial product.

Differences

Drop-seq

10X Genomics

Emulsion

Reaction after demulsification

Reaction in droplets

6 of 9

Experimental design

2 blood samples from 5 donors -> 10 samples

Investigation: which activated lymphocyte populations appear in the peripheral blood after the vaccination and how they differ from one donor to the other

4000 cells each sample (2000 T + 2000 B cells)

Use 2 chips, 8 wells each (6+4 paired patients, 2+4 remain empty)

Batch effect between chips and wells -> design avoiding chip batch effect

Price: $2300x10(wells)=$23000 (library prep)
