Summary (written by the submitters)
Single-cell multi-omics sequencing can integrate transcriptome and epigenome to analyze the complex mechanisms underlying neuron development and regeneration, but most current methods are based on second-generation short-read sequencing, which has low efficiency in detecting RNA structural heterogeneity. Long-length sequencing can analyze RNA structures, but the throughput and the number of transcripts detected at the single-cell level are very low, and single-cell level epigenome profiling has not been accomplished either.

Therefore, there is currently a lack of an effective method that can integrate RNA splicing and epigenetic modification to analyze the molecular mechanism of neural development. This study developed a single-cell multi-omics assay based on short-read sequencing for the simultaneous detection of single-cell full-length RNA isoforms and DNA accessibility. The accuracy of its resolution in RNA transcript structure can reach 94.5%, and the sensitivity of detecting single-cell gene expression is twice that of third-generation sequencing. And it can detect over 10,000 single nuclei at one run, enabling the effective integrated analysis of single-cell RNA isoforms and DNA accessibility at high throughput. We used this method to construct a multidimensional cell atlas of human retinal organoids, and found that gene expression and differential choices of isoforms of multiple fate-determining factors were significantly associated with chromatin accessibility. This method provides a new technical method for dissecting the multidimensional molecular mechanism of fate determination in neural cell development and regeneration.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE251754_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1055164 and SRA study SRP479266. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
6 × scRCAT_seq2_ES_SIRV

Supports a between-group comparison across 6 samples.

How we read this: 1 replicated groups read from 10 sample titles; they account for 6 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
