Learn MoreGenerally, when LCM is used in diverse transcriptomic analyses, several hundred, if not thousands, of cells are needed to obtain high quality of RNA-seq data. As some cellular populations are very small and tissue often in scarcity, we aimed to carefully document the lowest number of cells needed to retrieve sequencable libraries. We started with capturing 120 cells and subsequently scaled down to 50 cells, 30 cells, 10 cells, 5 cells, 2 cells and finally 1 cell. By optimizing multiple steps in the procedure, including direct lysis of cells without performing RNA isolation, we developed LCM-seq that couples LCM with Smart-seq2 for robust and efficient polyA-based RNA sequencing. We applied LCM-seq to mouse and human neuron samples, and demonstrated that LCM-seq can allow us to acquire high quality RNA-seq data from mouse and human tissues to conduct various transcriptomic studies.
