Single-cell RNA sequencing is a groundbreaking high-throughput gene expression analysis technology that reveals gene expression differences, cell type characteristics, and dynamic changes in cell states at the single-cell level. Unlike traditional bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing avoids the influence of population-level averaging effects, captures subtle differences between cells, uncovers heterogeneity, and provides an in-depth analysis of the functional state of each cell in a biological system.
Widely applied in tumor microenvironment studies, developmental biology, immune system research, and disease exploration, single-cell RNA sequencing has become a fundamental tool in modern biology. MtoZ Biolabs offers comprehensive, end-to-end Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Service utilizing the 10x Genomics Chromium system in combination with Illumina sequencing platforms. This service covers all aspects, including cell sorting, library construction, sequencing, and data analysis, ensuring accurate and high-quality results.
Technical Principles
The 10x Genomics Chromium system is a core technological platform for Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Service. Through microfluidic technology, individual cells are encapsulated with gel beads labeled with unique barcodes (10x barcoded gel beads) into Gel Bead-in-Emulsions (GEMs). Each droplet acts as an independent micro-reactor, ensuring that the mRNA of each cell can be uniquely labeled. Within the droplets, cells undergo lysis, releasing mRNA, followed by reverse transcription and library construction under barcode labeling. Subsequently, the barcoded cDNA library undergoes deep sequencing using the Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform. Finally, bioinformatics tools are employed to analyze cell types, gene expression patterns, and developmental trajectories. This process effectively eliminates population-level averaging effects, accurately revealing cellular heterogeneity.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing?
RNA sequencing is a technology that sequences all RNA in a bulk sample and is suitable for analyzing large-scale RNA expression data, typically used for RNA analysis in tissues or cell populations. In contrast, single-cell RNA sequencing sequences RNA at the single-cell level, revealing heterogeneity in gene expression among different cells and providing higher-resolution gene expression information.
