PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 10X Genomics, a company focused on accelerating genomic discovery, today launched the Chromium Single Cell CNV Solution, which is the first scalable and easy-to-use technology for rapid and massively parallel profiling of single cell genomes. This new solution is the first to be built upon their new technology advancement for generating Cell Beads and Gel Beads (CBGBs), recently unveiled during the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology Meeting (AGBT) in February 2018. The company will begin accepting pre-orders today with anticipated delivery beginning in July 2018.
Current commercial methods for copy number variation (CNV) profiling involve either manual manipulation of single cells, which limits throughput, or bulk sequencing, which prevents identification of rare subpopulations of cells that may contribute to disease progression. The Chromium Single Cell CNV Solution overcomes these limitations and enables preparation of hundreds to thousands of single cells for CNV profiling within minutes on either the Chromium Controller or the Chromium Single Cell Controller.
The Chromium Single Cell CNV Solution accurately profiles the genomes of individual cells and powers a broad range of research opportunities, which include revealing tumor heterogeneity, characterizing somatic mosaicism of neurons, as well as authenticating cell line identity and clonal purity. Of crucial importance to cancer research, the Chromium Single Cell CNV Solution provides more detailed insight into the clonal structure of cancer samples, including spatial distribution across tumor slices and longitudinal changes. This high-resolution view of cancer heterogeneity may be used to trace clonal evolution during tumor growth, treatment response, and development of drug resistance.
“It is a game changer for the field to decipher genomic clonal heterogeneity across thousands of individual cells within a specimen. This could ultimately have important implications for understanding which drugs are right for which patients,” says John D. Carpten, Professor at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California (USC), and Co-Director of the USC Institute of Translational Genomics. Carpten and institute Co-Director David Craig are among the few researchers with early access to the Chromium Single Cell CNV Solution and will be presenting their analyses at this year’s annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), April 14-18, 2018, in Chicago, IL.
“A definitive view of clonal heterogeneity and evolution at the single cell level is fundamental to understanding cancer. In combination with our single cell transcriptome and T and B cell immune repertoire sequencing solutions, we see potential to enable a wave of groundbreaking translational research,” said Serge Saxonov, CEO and co-founder of 10x Genomics.
The solution also includes a comprehensive software suite from 10x Genomics to rapidly analyze and visualize large single cell CNV experiments. The Cell Ranger DNA analysis pipeline provides a turnkey solution for single cell CNV calling and clustering. The Loupe scDNA Browser provides a powerful and easy-to-use tool for inspecting and interrogating genomic regions and cell clusters.
