Abstract
Many single cell RNA-seq applications aim to probe a wide dynamic range of gene expression, but most of them are still challenging to accurately quantify low-aboundance transcripts. Based on our previous finding that Tn5 transposase can directly cut-and-tag DNA/RNA hetero-duplexes, we present SHERRY2, an optimized protocol for sequencing transcriptomes of single cells or single nuclei. SHERRY2 is robust and scalable, and it has higher sensitivity and more uniform coverage in comparison with prevalent scRNA-seq methods. With throughput of a few thousand cells per batch, SHERRY2 can reveal the subtle transcriptomic differences between cells and facilitate important biological discoveries.
