Abstract

We report scM&T-seq, a method for parallel single-cell genome-wide methylome and transcriptome sequencing that allows for the discovery of associations between transcriptional and epigenetic variation. Profiling of 61 mouse embryonic stem cells confirmed known links between DNA methylation and transcription. Notably, the method revealed previously unrecognized associations between heterogeneously methylated distal regulatory elements and transcription of key pluripotency genes.

  • scM&T-seq is the first single-cell multi-omics technology achieving co-profile of the DNA methylome and transcriptome.

    “The first single-cell multi-omics technology achieving co-profile of the DNA methylome and transcriptome is single-cell methylome and transcriptome sequencing (scM&T-seq) [103]”
  • scM&T-seq measures DNA methylome and transcriptome via a similar protocol as G&T-seq for physically separating mRNA and DNA, but instead of performing WGS on the DNA fraction, it undergoes scBS-seq to profile the methylome.

    “scM&T-seq [82] measures DNA methylome and transcriptome via a similar protocol as G&T-seq for physically separating mRNA and DNA, but instead of performing WGS on the DNA fraction, it undergoes scBS-seq to profile the methylome.”

  • Several other methods have been published to simultaneously measure several omics features from one cell, all including DNA methylation.

  • Angermueller et al. studied associations between changes in methylation and expression of individual genes and detected 1493 associations, both positive and negative, highlighting the complexity of the methylome-transcriptome interaction.

    “For instance, Angermueller et al. [82] studied associations between changes in methylation and expression of individual genes. They detected 1493 associations, both positive and negative, highlighting the complexity of the methylome–transcriptome interaction.”

    From Mapping gene regulatory networks from single-cell omics data (2018) · cites this paper as [82]

  • Multiomic methods can measure both the transcriptome and DNA methylome in one cell.

    “Multiomic sequencing can also assay the transcriptome and DNA methylome from the same cell (Angermueller et al., 2016; Hou et al., 2016; Hu et al., 2016; Luo et al., 2018b).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
