Massively parallel whole genome amplification for single-cell sequencing using droplet microfluidics

Abstract Massively parallel single-cell genome sequencing is required to further understand genetic diversities in complex biological systems. Whole genome amplification (WGA) is the first step for single-cell sequencing, but its throughput and accuracy are insufficient in conventional reaction plat...
