About the service
The Cell is the Reaction Vessel
The Evercode™ solution from Parse Biosciences converts each cell or nucleus into an individualized reaction compartment. This approach steps away from the limitations of hardware-based offerings by evolving the assay for a more elegant, simple solution to single-cell (scRNA-Seq) and single-nuclei sequencing (snRNA-Seq).
Fix Now, Run Later
Fix cells or nuclei as they're available to lock in the biology. After a 30-minute fixation, samples are stable for 6 months. Whether working on a timecourse study, sharing samples between laboratories, or segregating sample preparation from core lab space, fixation provides the flexibility to work the way you desire.
No Instrument Required
Conventional droplet-based single-cell technologies struggle as cell or experiment sizes change. Parse makes it easy to scale your experiments regardless of cell size or sample type. The Evercode™ split-pool combinatorial barcoding technology, originally based on the approach published in Science and known widely as SPLiT-Seq, is accessible to any standard biology lab.
Specifications
Sample submission
Project consultation: We strongly recommend a consultation meeting before starting your first Single Cell project. Consultations are free for investigators utilizing the KMSR's single cell service. To request a meeting please contact Guilin Wang.
Scheduling your experiment: The single-cell service is by appointment only. You must have an appointment prior to submitting samples. Submission appointments should be made a minimum of one week in advance of your anticipated submission date. This prevents scheduling conflicts and ensures the appropriate reagents are available and at the correct temperatures for immediate use (having samples sit while we bring reagents to temperature may negatively impact data). We will make effort to accommodate appointments made 24-48 hours before submission, but we cannot guarantee availability.
To schedule a submission appointment, please contact Evelyn Ng at microarrays@yale.edu.
Sequencing request
To request sequencing at Yale Center for Genome Analysis with the prepared library, please use WiKiLIMS system.
