The goal of this two-week course is to familiarize students with cutting-edge technologies for characterization of single cells. Modules of the course will be taught by scientists with expertise in distinct areas of single cell analysis. Topics to be covered include quantitative single cell analysis by RNAseq, genomic DNA analysis, proteomics, and metabolomics. Multiple nucleic amplification methodologies including droplet-based RNAseq, MALBAC and MDA will be employed. In addition, students will be instructed in basic bioinformatic analysis of next generation sequencing data.
Topics:
- Single cell genome, transcriptome, and proteome measurement
- Introductory next generation sequencing data analysis
- Photoactivatable single cell probes
- Single cell mass spectrometry / Soft X-ray tomography
