SummaryRecurrent patterns of chromosomal changes (aneuploidy) are widespread in cancer. These patterns are mainly attributed to selection processes due to an assumption that human chromosomes carry equal chance of being mis-segregated into daughter cells when fidelity of cell division is compromised. Human chromosomes vary widely in size, gene density and other parameters that might generate bias in mis-segregation rates, however technological limitations have precluded a systematic and high throughput analysis of chromosome-specific aneuploidy. Here, using fluorescence In-Situ hybridization (FISH) imaging of specific centromeres coupled with high-throughput single cell analysis, as well as single-cell sequencing we show that human chromosome mis-segregation is non-random. Merotelic kinetochore attachment induced by nocodazole washout leads to elevated aneuploidy of a subset of chromosomes, and high rates of anaphase lagging of chromosomes 1 and 2. Mechanistically, we show that these chromosomes are prone to cohesion fatigue that results in anaphase lagging upon release from nocodazole or Eg5 inhibition. Our findings suggest that inherent properties of specific chromosomes can influence chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy, with implications for studies on aneuploidy in human disease.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become an essential tool for characterizing gene expression in eukaryotes, but current methods are incompatible with bacteria. Here, we introduce microSPLiT (microbial split-pool ligation transcriptomics), a high-throughput scRNA-seq method for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria that can resolve heterogeneous transcriptional states. We applied microSPLiT to >25,000 Bacillus subtilis cells sampled at different growth stages, creating an atlas of changes in metabolism and lifestyle. We retrieved detailed gene expression profiles associated with known, but rare, states such as competence and prophage induction and also identified unexpected gene expression states, including the heterogeneous activation of a niche metabolic pathway in a subpopulation of cells. MicroSPLiT paves the way to high-throughput analysis of gene expression in bacterial communities that are otherwise not amenable to single-cell analysis, such as natural microbiota.
