A single-cell multiomics approach to study tumor-driven perturbations during hematopoiesis in mice
Cancer can interfere with normal hematopoiesis by skewing the generation of myeloid cells with tumor -promoting functions and inducing splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis. This webinar will showcase a single-cell multiomics approach for the investigation of alterations in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) populations in a melanoma mouse model. First, we will describe an optimal workflow for sample processing and sorting of four rare HSPC populations. We will then describe the downstream single-cell multiomics analysis of isolated cells for the simultaneous assessment of surface protein and whole-transcriptome expression. We will also highlight the use of high-dimensional data analysis tools for deep cellular characterization to uncover tumor-mediated abnormalities in hematopoiesis.
What will you learn?
- Best practices for cell preparation and sorting of rare cell populations
- Strategies to increase sample throughput by combining multiple samples in an integrated workflow
- Utilizing high-dimensional data analysis tools for simultaneous analysis of surface protein and whole-transcriptome expression at the single-cell level to enable deep cellular characterization and heterogeneity resolution
Who may this interest?
- Core facility directors and research investigators engaged in basic immunology, stem cell biology, immune monitoring, and immuno-oncology studies
- Researchers interested in the latest cutting-edge high-parameter data and associated analysis
- Anyone interested in learning more about single-cell multiomics
