The use of cold active proteases can dramatically reduce single cell RNA-seq gene expression artifacts
Single cell RNA-seq is a powerful methodology, but with important limitations. In particular, the process of enzymatic separation of cells at 37O C can be expected to result in artifact changes in gene expression patterns. We here describe a dissociation method that uses protease from a psychrophilic microorganism with high activity in the cold. The entire procedure is carried out at 6O C or colder, where mammalian transcriptional machinery is largely inactive. To test this method we carry out s...

Deep data QC
metadata only · no data-level QC for this typeStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained
No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.
measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
