Preparation of mouse pancreatic tumor for single-cell RNA sequencing and analysis of the data

Abstract

Summary: Preparation of single-cell suspension from primary tumor tissue can provide a valuable resource for functional, genetic, proteomic, and tumor microenvironment studies. Here, we describe an effective protocol for mouse pancreatic tumor dissociation with further processing of tumor suspension for single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of cellular populations. We further provide an outline of the bioinformatics processing of the data and clustering of heterogeneous cellular populations comprising pancreatic tumors using Common Workflow Language (CWL) pipelines within user-friendly Scientific Data Analysis Platform (https://SciDAP.com).For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gabitova-Cornell et al. (2020).
