Single-Cell and Multi-Omics Integration

scRNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, WES and ctDNA integrated around the tumor microenvironment. Cell annotation, cluster atlas, sample-level results and QC.

When you need this

  • You want to know which cell population in the tumor microenvironment your drug acts on.
  • Your bulk RNA-seq results are ambiguous. Bulk sequencing averages across the whole tissue, so a signal from a small population is easily diluted.
  • You have genomic, transcriptomic or blood-based data that needs to be interpreted together.
  • The data is sequenced, but your internal team doesn't have the bandwidth.

METHODS

What we do

Data types

  • scRNA-seq (single-cell RNA sequencing): expression profiles read cell by cell, not as a tissue average.
  • Bulk RNA-seq.
  • WES (whole-exome sequencing).
  • ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA): tumor-derived DNA fragments in the blood, trackable from a blood draw.

Integration

We analyze genome, transcriptome and proteome data in one framework, centered on the tumor microenvironment: which cells are present, what each expresses, and how that changes with treatment.

QC comes first

Single-cell data most often goes wrong at quality control, so a QC report is a standard deliverable on every project. We confirm the data is usable before moving on to annotation and downstream analysis.

Single-cell UMAP

Eight clusters: T, NK, B, myeloid, fibroblast, endothelial and two malignant clusters.

QUESTIONS WE HEAR

Questions R&D teams bring us

"Which cell population in the tumor microenvironment does our drug mainly act on?"

"Our bulk RNA-seq shows no clear difference between groups. Is there really none, or is the signal diluted by other cells?"

"Can we compare ctDNA changes during treatment against imaging assessments?"
