High-throughput and high-accuracy single-cell RNA isoform analysis using PacBio circular consensus sequencing

Abstract Although long-read single-cell RNA isoform sequencing (scISO-Seq) can reveal alternative RNA splicing in individual cells, it suffers from a low read throughput. Here, we introduce HIT-scISOseq, a method that removes most artifact cDNAs and concatenates multiple cDNAs for PacBio circular co...

description Abstract Although long-read single-cell RNA isoform sequencing (scISO-Seq) can reveal alternative RNA splicing in individual cells, it suffers from a low read throughput. Here, we introduce HIT-scISOseq, a method that removes most artifact cDNAs and concatenates multiple cDNAs for PacBio circular consensus sequencing (CCS) to achieve high-throughput and high-accuracy single-cell RNA isoform sequencing. HIT-scISOseq can yield >10 million high-accuracy long-reads in a single PacBio Sequel II SMRT Cell 8M. We also report the development of scISA-Tools that demultiplex HIT-scISOseq concatenated reads into single-cell cDNA reads with >99.99% accuracy and specificity. We apply HIT-scISOseq to characterize the transcriptomes of 3375 corneal limbus cells and reveal cell-type-specific isoform expression in them. HIT-scISOseq is a high-throughput, high-accuracy, technically accessible method and it can accelerate the burgeoning field of long-read single-cell transcriptomics.
