Joint profiling of chromatin accessibility and gene expression in thousands of single cells
Open accessAbstract
Single-cell chromatin and RNA analysis: Single-cell analyses have begun to provide insight into the differences among and within the individual cells that make up a tissue or organism. However, technological barriers owing to the small amount of material present in each single cell have prevented parallel analyses. Cao et al. present sci-CAR, a pooled barcode method that jointly analyzes both the RNA transcripts and chromatin profiles of single cells. By applying sci-CAR to lung adenocarcinoma cells and mouse kidney tissue, the authors demonstrate precision in assessing expression and genome accessibility at a genome-wide scale. The approach provides an improvement over bulk analysis, which can be confounded by differing cellular subgroups. Science , this issue p. 1380

“The cardinal identity of a cell is probably already instilled at the postmitotic stage during development9,61,62,63,64, and its subsequent phenotypic differentiation and expression are regulated by extrinsic signals such as cell interactions and neural activity.”

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.
