#114 — High-quality nuclei extraction is pivotal for many genetic and epigenetic studies, including single cell RNA-seq to describe transcriptomic profiles and gene expression dynamics and ATAC-seq to determine chromatin accessibility.
But nuclei samples are extremely delicate and can be challenging to prepare and count.
In this episode, we provide some practical tips to prepare high-quality nuclei extracts and tailor your extraction protocol to your sample.
We also compare methods to count nuclei, assess their quality, and demonstrate how automated nuclei counting can improve your workflow.
Check out the original article for a graphic that shows you the level of purity and quality you should aim for with nuclei extraction.
