  • System and Methods for Genetic Analysis of Mixed Cell Populations
    Publication number: 20150154352
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for massively parallel genetic analysis of single cells in emulsions or droplets. A biological sample is divided into subsamples of single cells or cell supbopulations, and a fusion complex is formed by molecular linkage and amplification techniques. Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for high-throughput, massively parallel analysis of the subsamples. These methods integrate molecular, algorithmic, and engineering approaches. They have broad and useful application in a number of biological and medical fields, including immunology, noninvasive prenatal diagnosis, and noninvasive cancer diagnosis.
