圣地亚哥与赫拉克勒斯，加利福尼亚州 --2017年1月9日-- Illumina公司 (纳斯达克股票代码：ILMN) Bio-Rad实验室公司 (NYSE:BIO) (纽约证券交易所市场代码：BIOb) 今日在JP摩根健康大会上发布了Illumina® Bio-Rad® Single-Cell Sequencing Solution该综合解决方案是单细胞分析的第一个新一代测序（NGS）工作流程，使研究人员能够在组织功能、病情进展和治疗反应方面深入探查个体细胞的协同作用。

单细胞分析可深层探查个体细胞的基因表达，从而了解其在复杂组织中的功能。与以往任务艰巨且昂贵费时的流程不同，该解决方案能够对数以千计的个体细胞进行高通量测序。单细胞测序广泛用于人类发展与疾病研究中，能在该解决方案发布以后获益良多。
“单细胞基因组学能够以高得多的精度查看干细胞转变为神经元的过程，这些神经元在帕金森病和肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症（也叫作卢·格里克症）中是缺失的，”洛杉矶雪松-西奈再生医学中心机构审查委员会主任Clive Svendsen博士说道。他的实验室试用了新平台，对用于神经退行性疾病建模的单细胞进行了基因测序。
“使用此解决方案可以在群落中发现成熟比其他细胞更快的单细胞，让我们对疾病建立更好的模型，”雪松-西奈再生医学中心机构审查委员会项目科学家及主要研究员Ritchie Ho博士补充道。
该解决方案包括ddSEQ™ Single-Cell Isolator和SureCell™ WTA 3’Library Prep Kit。Bio-Rad最好的液滴分离技术，Droplet Digital™技术，可以对单细胞进行隔离和编制条形码，然后在Illumina的许多主要NGS仪器上进行下游测序。全面的工作流程解决方案包括使用BaseSpace® Informatics Suite、Illumina的云端基因组学计算环境进行初级和中级数据分析，使用流式细胞分析技术的领先公司FlowJo, LLC所开发的SeqGeq™进行高级数据分析和可视化处理。
“通过与Illumina之间的紧密合作，我们为单细胞分析开发了一套无缝的可扩展解决方案，”Bio-Rad数字生物学组执行副总裁兼总经理Annette Tumolo说。“我们很荣幸为研究界的细胞生物学同仁配备他们需要的工具来推动新的发现。”
“我们希望细胞生物学家接触到这些降低单细胞分析成本同时又易于使用的技术，让他们凭借获得的基因表达信息推动复杂疾病的研究，”Illumina应用基因组学部副总裁兼总经理Rob Brainin说。“与Bio-Rad的合作让我们把此项技术快速引入市场，使我们的客户能够解码基因组而改善人类健康。”
Illumina® Bio-Rad® Single-Cell Sequencing Solution将在二月上旬发货。了解更多有关仪器、试剂和工作流程的信息，请访问www.bio-rad.com/ddSEQ。
