  • GENE EXPRESSION ANALYSIS IN SINGLE CELLS
    Publication number: 20120010091
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the analysis of gene expression in single cells or in a plurality of single cells. The invention provides methods for preparing a cDNA library from individual cells by releasing mRNA from each single cell to provide a plurality of individual mRNA samples, synthesizing cDNA from the individual mRNA samples, tagging the individual cDNA, pooling the tagged cDNA samples and amplifying the pooled cDNA samples to generate a cDNA library. The invention also provides a cDNA library produced by the methods described herein. The invention farther provides methods for analyzing gene expression in a plurality of cells by preparing a cDNA library as described herein and sequencing the library.
