The platform team has accumulated plenty of project experience and expertise and has supported a number of clients to publish high-level articles.

Single Cell ATAC
Single-cell ATAC-seq is to study chromatin accessibility at the single-cell level and is mainly used for the detection of transcriptional regulatory sequences, which can be combined with single-cell RNA-seq to analyse all actively transcribed regulatory sequences in the genome. This technique has been used in many research areas such as tumor heterogeneity studies, gene regulatory network analysis, cell lineage tracing, biomarker discovery, etc. ATAC-Seq (Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing) uses Tn5 transposase to cleave nuclear chromatin regions which is open at a specific space-time and then adds primers for high-throughput sequencing to obtain the regulatory sequences of all active transcripts in the genome at that specific space-time condition.   ATAC-Seq schematic diagram   The single cell ATAC-Seq technology relies on the microfluidic technology of the 10x Genomics platform, combining characteristics of different cells of sequence tags distinguished population with ATAC-Seq technology to build chromatin accessibility profiles for thousands of single cells.

Spatial Gene Expression for Fresh Frozen
Principle of the technique When a frozen tissue slice is placed in the capture region of a Visium chip with spatial barcode and has been HE stained and imaged, the tissue is permeabilised and the intracellular mRNA is released and captured by a probe with oligo-dT on the chip. The captured mRNA starts reverse transcription and the resulting cDNA contains spatial barcode sequences. After constructing a library and sequencing, the mRNA transcribed sequences can be mapped to their original location in the tissue, thus obtaining information about the location of gene expression. The core of the Visim spatial transcriptome is the microarray: the formal library is constructed with four capture regions, each containing approximately 5,000 spots, each capable of capturing 1-10 cells, with a distance of 100 μm between spots and spot centroids. Each spot contains millions of capture probes that bind to mRNA, and each probe contains a unique barcode (barcode).

Olink Precision Proteomics Analysis Service
Product Description With the accomplishment of human whole genome sequencing, medical research has moved from genomics to the post-genomic era. The research value of proteins as functional executors of life activities is gaining more and more attention. Protein biomarkers can serve as important features in pathophysiology, bridge the gap between genome and phenotype, and have a profound impact on improving future healthcare, especially in precision medicine. However, the progress has been stunted by the lack of technologies that can provide high specificity, sensitivity, and throughput. The emergence of Olink technology, however, can break through these obstacles and accelerate the development of proteomics in the field of precision medicine. Technology principle. Olink protein detection platform is based on the neighbor extension technology Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) for protein detection. For each protein to be detected, a pair of antibodies is designed at two adjacent antigenic epitopes, which are coupled to a specific DNA single strand with paired bases at the end of the single strand. When the pair of antibodies binds to the target protein, the two adjacent DNA single strands are hybridized and complemented and extended in an enzymatic reaction, which then forms a double-stranded template. The detection of the double-stranded template using microfluidic qPCR or NGS enables the quantitative analysis of the protein. This technique cleverly converts protein quantification to DNA quantification, solving the problem that proteins cannot be amplified, thus enabling the detection of trace amounts of proteins. Technical advantages. 1. High specificity: High specificity by using two antibodies to recognize one protein, labeling and full validation by Barcode. 2. Wide dynamic range: The entire panel spans 10 log values, allowing simultaneous consideration of proteins of different abundance. 3. High sensitivity: The detection sensitivity is as low as fg/mL level, which can detect thousands of disease-related low abundance proteins (especially low abundance biomarkers in plasma and serum samples) at the histological level. 4. High detection throughput: 96/384/3072panel, each panel can detect 88 samples at a time. By combining qPCR and NGS high throughput detection platform, it can produce millions of protein data per week. 5. Micro sample: 48-384 protein markers can be detected simultaneously in 1μL plasma, and more than 3000 protein markers can be detected in 8μL plasma. 6. High reproducibility: strict quality control, 99.8% of proteins without cross-reactivity, mature detection platform, high data quality, good reproducibility, suitable for large data analysis requirements, and the reproducibility requirements of clinical translational applications. Application areas. Biomarker research: disease risk assessment, disease typing, disease prediction, disease diagnosis and prognosis. Drug discovery: drug target discovery, clinical treatment effect evaluation, basic research.

The main purpose is to compare the metabolomes (all metabolites of a given organism) of the control and experimental groups to find out the differences in their metabolites and to explore the metabolic pathways between the differential metabolites. The analysis generally includes: a. Metabolic profiling (also called differential expression analysis): looking for metabolites of interest with statistically significant abundance changes in a set of experimental and control samples. b. Identification: After performing metabolic profiling, the chemical structure of these metabolites is determined. c. Interpretation: The final step in the research process, explaining the association between the metabolites found and the biological process or biological state. Research Process The non-targeted metabolomics research process can be mainly divided into experimental design, sample collection and processing, metabolite extraction and concentration, sample detection, data analysis, metabolite identification, and finally biological interpretation. Because the metabolome changes extremely fast, the metabolite species are various, the concentration varies greatly, the chemical properties are different, and the data information is huge, each step may have a large impact on the final results, so it is crucial to realize the standardized operation of metabolomics   Technology platform The main platforms for non-targeted metabolomics are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), each of which has a certain bias, so researchers need to choose the appropriate platform according to the purpose of the study and the type of samples. The purpose is to achieve a more complete and comprehensive study. Table Comparison of major assay platforms for non-targeted Major Assay Platforms Advantages Disadvantages NMR 1. High throughput 2.

Short instrument life   Data analysis methods The data obtained from non-targeted metabolomics are complex and multidimensional, and the chemometric methods need to be fully applied to deeply explore the information in them. The data are generally pre-processed first, and the specific process includes normalization, data transformation, centralization, and normalization steps. Only after pre-processing, simplification and dimensionality reduction of the data are realized, and reliable data models are established. The pattern recognition methods applied to metabolomics data analysis mainly include unsupervised learning methods and supervised learning methods. The unsupervised learning methods mainly include: principal component analysis (PCA), nonlinear mapping, cluster analysis, etc. Supervised learning methods are mainly based on partial least squares (PLS), neural network improvement methods, least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), orthogonal least squares (OPLS), etc., among which PCA and PLS-DA are commonly used pattern recognition methods in metabolomics.   Non-targeted metabolomics data processing process   Sample types Serum - Plasma - Urine - Cerebrospinal fluid - Saliva - Feces - Microorganisms - Cells - Plants - Tissues – Other   Lead time
Nucleic acid mass spectrometry detection service
MassARRAY is based on Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption /Ionization-Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) technology, and is the global original nucleic acid mass spectrometry platform for high precision DNA qualitative analysis. This technology platform Perfectly integrates the high sensitivity of PCR technology, the high throughput of chip technology,the high accuracy of mass Spectrometry technology and the powerful function of computer Intelligent analysis, which is the best tool for large sample size Verification of a large number of candidate SNP and DNA methylation markers discovered by sequencing and chip technology.The MassARRAY system provides a unique solution for targeted gene detection using limited samples. It can meet the assay design, validation and performance needs of genomics laboratories.   Technology Principle The MassARRAY time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection system consists of a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) source, a time-of-flight mass analyzer (TOF), and a template preparation plate.The principle of MALDI is to irradiate a co-crystalline film formed by the sample and matrix with a laser, and the matrix absorbs energy from the laser and transmits it to the biomolecules, causing them to ionize.The principle of TOF is Biomolecules are ionized and accelerated through the flight tube by an electric field, and the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions is proportional to the ion's time of flight. The system is extremely accurate and fast, allowing multiple samples to be tested at one time. Multiplex PCR amplification is first performed, followed by single-base extension with modified ddNTP, enabling the mass spectrometry system to accurately identify differences in individual bases and report the frequency of each base according to peak area, and thus accurately analyze the frequency of allele distribution in the sample.
