AbstractSingle cell genomics (SCG) can provide reliable context for assembled genome fragments on the level of individual prokaryotic genomes and has rapidly emerged as an essential complement to cultivation-based and metagenomics research approaches. Targeted cell sorting approaches, which enable the selection of specific taxa by fluorescent labeling, compatible with subsequent single cell genomics offers an opportunity to access genetic information from rare biosphere members which would have otherwise stayed hidden as microbial dark matter.
We present a lab-on-a-chip for the next generation of single-cell genomics, performing full-cycle single-cell analysis by demonstrating mega-base pair genomic DNAs in nanochannels extracted in situ.
