Abstract
Here we present a novel method: single-cell combinatorial indexing for methylation analysis (sci-MET), which is the first highly scalable assay for whole genome methylation profiling of single cells. We use sci-MET to produce 2,697 total single-cell bisulfite sequencing libraries and achieve read alignment rates of 69 ± 7%, comparable to those of bulk cell methods. As a proof of concept, we applied sci-MET to successfully deconvolve the cellular identity of a mixture of three human cell lines.
