Simultaneous Single-Cell Profiling of the Transcriptome and Accessible Chromatin Using SHARE-seq.

The ability to analyze the transcriptomic and epigenomic states of individual single cells has in recent years transformed our ability to measure and understand biological processes. Recent advancements have focused on increasing sensitivity and throughput to provide richer and deeper biological insights at the cellular level. The next frontier is the development of multiomic methods capable of analyzing multiple features from the same cell, such as the simultaneous measurement of the transcriptome and the chromatin accessibility of candidate regulatory elements. In this chapter, we discuss and describe SHARE-seq (Simultaneous high-throughput ATAC, and RNA expression with sequencing) for carrying out simultaneous chromatin accessibility and transcriptome measurements in single cells, together with the experimental and analytical considerations for achieving optimal results.
