    Massively parallel whole genome amplification for single-cell sequencing using droplet microfluidics

    Massively parallel single-cell genome sequencing is required to further understand genetic diversities in complex biological systems. Whole genome amplification (WGA) is the first step for single-cell sequenci...

    Obtaining high-quality draft genomes from uncultured microbes by cleaning and co-assembly of single-cell amplified genomes

    Single-cell genomics is a straightforward approach to obtain genomes from uncultured microbes. However, sequence reads from a single-cell amplified genome (SAG) contain significant bias and chimeric sequences....

    High-throughput identification of peptide agonists against GPCRs by co-culture of mammalian reporter cells and peptide-secreting yeast cells using droplet microfluidics

    Since G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are linked to various diseases, screening of functional ligands against GPCRs is vital for drug discovery. In the present study, we developed a high-throughput functio...

    Strain-level profiling of viable microbial community by selective single-cell genome sequencing

    Culture-independent analysis with high-throughput sequencing has been widely used to characterize bacterial communities. However, signals derived from non-viable bacteria and non-cell DNA may inhibit its chara...
