## TL;DR

This paper updates a protocol for high-throughput single-cell multiomics profiling, improving efficiency and data quality in mouse brain and pancreatic organoid studies.

## Contribution

The protocol is updated to a 384-well format with reduced costs and improved cDNA quality using Smart-seq3 and patterned-flow cells.

## Key findings

- Throughput increased to 384-well format with reduced costs.
- Improved detection of genes and CpGs per cell using Smart-seq3.
- Protocol validated in two research papers with enhanced troubleshooting.

## Abstract

Single-cell nucleosome, methylome, and transcriptome (scNMT) sequencing is a recently developed method that allows multiomics profiling of single cells. In this scNMT protocol, we describe profiling of cells from mouse brain and pancreatic organoids, using liquid handling platforms to increase throughput from 96-well to 384-well plate format. Our approach miniaturizes reaction volumes and incorporates the latest Smart-seq3 protocol to obtain higher numbers of detected genes and genomic DNA (gDNA) CpGs per cell. We outline normalization steps to optimally distribute per-cell sequencing depth.

For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kremer et al. and other works.1,2,3,4,5,6,7
