Despite the richer insights that single-cell multi-omics can offer over conventional techniques such as PCR and bulk next-generation sequencing, including characterizing the clonality of heterogeneous cancer cells and changes driving therapy resistance or assessing genome editing outcomes, the costs for sample analysis can be a barrier to adoption for many labs.
To help address this, Mission Bio has recently launched new sample multiplexing features that allow the pooling of multiple samples into a single run on the Tapestri Platform, improving the throughput and productivity, and thereby reducing the per-sample costs for single-cell DNA and protein multi-omic analysis by up to 60%*.
In this educational webinar, we’ll discuss two novel multiplexing approaches available on Tapestri, Antibody Hashing and Genotype Multiplexing. We’ll explore how they enable increased efficiency and versatility while maintaining the same robust performance metrics such as sensitivity and specificity. We’ll also share real-world case studies from labs that are applying multiplexing approaches in disease modeling, CRISPR-editing, and hemato-oncology applications.

Infant and adult MLL1/KMT2A-rearranged (MLLr) leukemia represents a disease with a dismal prognosis. Here, we characterized early proteomic events of MLL::ENL-mediated transformation in fetal and adult blood progenitors and reveal that whereas adult pre-leukemic cells are mainly characterized by retained myeloid features and downregulation of ribosomal and metabolic proteins, expression of MLL::ENL in fetal lymphomyeloid multipotent progenitors (LMPPs) leads to enrichment of translation-associated and histone deacetylases signaling proteins, and decreased expression of inflammation and myeloid differentiation proteins. Integrating the proteome of pre-leukemic cells with their secretome and the proteomic composition of the extracellular environment of normal progenitors highlights ligand-receptor interactions with differential regulation upon initiation of fetal- and adult-origin leukemia. We show that these interactions have implications for human MLLr leukemia cells’ ability to communicate with their environment through granule proteins. Our study has uncovered opportunities for targeting ontogeny-specific proteomic vulnerabilities in in utero-initiated and adult-onset MLLr leukemia.

Improving coverage, robustness and sensitivity is crucial for routine phosphoproteomics analysis by single-shot liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) from minimal peptide inputs. The presentation focuses on our systematic optimization of key experimental parameters for automated on-beads phosphoproteomics sample preparation with focus on low input samples, pinpointing critical variables influencing the resulting phosphoproteome. Furthermore, we evaluated how sequential enrichment can boost phosphoproteome coverage and show that pooling fractions into a single LC-MS/MS analysis can increase the depth. The presentation also includes an alternative phosphopeptide enrichment strategy based on stepwise addition of beads thereby boosting phosphoproteome coverage. Our optimized phosphoproteomics pipeline can be translated to the newest generation of mass spectrometers, such as the Orbitrap Astral, increasing the phosphopeptide coverage by 2-fold, allowing for deep phosphoproteomics analysis without the need to scale up the starting cell amounts.

Proteins are the primary targets of almost all small molecule drugs. Nonetheless, even drugs designed with high specificity may interact with multiple proteins that are not initially targeted. Discovering these potential interactions is crucial for the development and repurposing of drugs. Current state-of-the-art proteomics methodologies enable screening of thousands of proteins against a limited number of drug molecules. Here we report the development of a label-free quantitative proteomics approach that enables proteome-wide screening of small organic molecules in a scalable, reproducible, and rapid manner by streamlining the proteome integral solubility alteration (PISA) assay.

Soluble HLA (sHLA) peptides are thought to have great potential as biomarkers for different diseases such as cancer. However, efficient enrichment of sHLA peptides from body fluids like plasma has been a bottleneck, requiring 3-5 ml per patient. Here we present IMBAS-MS, an automated magnetic bead based workflow for the efficient enrichment of HLA protein peptide complexes.
The core of IMBAS-MS is the combination of biotinylated antibodies captured by streptavidin magnetic beads allowing for an automated one pot enrichment from only 200 µl plasma.
In combination with Whisper low-flow gradients, data-independent acquisition (DIA) and computational library-based analysis we acquire deep immunopeptidomes from single measurements, elucidating its origins.

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in the world. Clinically, receptor status and lymph node involvement are essential to stratify patients in different treatment groups. Moreover, molecular subtyping of breast tumours further assists in providing information about prognosis and treatment response. However, complications such as overtreatment, overdiagnosis and late recurrence are still a reality. Therefore, improvements in personalised medicine for better stratification and tailoring of treatment are a necessity. Since proteins are more closely related to phenotype, and information such as post-translational modifications affect protein activity, the use of proteins as biomarkers is of interest. In label-free mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, different acquisition strategies can be used, namely data dependent acquisition (DDA) and data independent acquisition (DIA). Here, we establish a new semi-automated bead-based workflow for high-throughput processing of clinical samples, and further evaluate different acquisition methods. We then investigate the potential use of proteome data in comparison with already available matched transcriptome data in the context of personalised medicine and biomarker discovery.

Genome-wide bulk sequencing is widely used to assess DNA methylation (DNAm). However, methylation signals obtained from bulk sequencing are averaged out, concealing the cell-to-cell differences in methylation signatures involved in health and disease. Single-cell methods such as bisulfite sequencing were developed to reveal these signatures and offer insights into cellular heterogeneity and rare cell types. However, genome-wide DNAm profiling at single-cell resolution has drawbacks such as sparse data and limited genomic coverage even for deeply sequenced samples.
To address this gap, the Renée Beekman Lab and the Lars Velten Lab of the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona teamed up to develop a novel high-throughput, high-confidence targeted bisulfite-free method for analyzing DNAm in single cells, now published in Genome Biology.
In this webinar, authors Michael Scherer, Ph.D. and Agostina Bianchi of CRG will present the Single-Cell Targeted Analysis of the Methylome (scTAM-seq) protocol which profiles 650 biologically relevant CpGs in up to 10,000 cells using the Tapestri platform. They will also share how they combined DNAm (epigenetics), somatic mutations (genotype), and surface marker expression (phenotype) to gain a rich picture of clonal architecture and dynamics across B cell differentiation in blood and bone marrow.

Cell-mediated immunotherapies are an emerging modality that can revolutionize cancer research as well as the study of the immune system. However, establishing standardization and scalability for necessary bioanalytics into product release practices are hampered by two major challenges:
a) Requirements for patient-specific or wide-sourced starting materials and
b) Workflow changes when moving from research applications to regulated process developments.
This talk emphasizes the role of partnerships between early- and late-stream analytical assay developers. While tackling unique challenges in validating flow cytometric methods for Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells, during manufacturing and clinical monitoring. Additionally, evolving targets during transferability and scalability also need to be addressed through Control-Design modalities like increasing automation and integration of various processes.
We will be introducing Critical Quality Attributes and key considerations when designing sample preparation methods, optimization, validation, and implementation for cell and gene therapy bioanalytics.

The EMERGE webinar series is an open platform for emerging researchers to share their work highlighting novel methods and solutions they are implementing to tackle the challenges associated with applying omics technologies in a routine way.
The webinar will focus on two multiomics methodologies that probe the crosstalk between the RNA and the protein worlds, with a specific focus on characterising RNA-protein interactions and RNA and protein subcellular localisation.
OOPS (Orthogonal Organic Phase Separation) repurposes standard Trizol RNA and protein extraction to unbiasedly retrieve all RNA binding proteins and protein bound RNA (Queiroz, Smith & Villanueva, Nature Biotechnology 2019; Villanueva, Smith & Queiroz, Nature Protocols 2020). The unbiased nature of OOPS allows for application across variety of human cells and the first bacterium RNA-binding proteome was retrieved. More recently, LoRNA (Localisation of RNA) was developed, a new single-step subcellular fractionation technology to quantitatively interrogate, at once, the subcellular localisation of the transcriptome, both in organelles and phase separated compartments. Simultaneous interrogation of all localisations allows the system-wide quantification of RNA proportional distribution and the comprehensive analysis of RNA subcellular dynamics. Importantly, by coupling LoRNA and LOPIT (Localisation Of Proteins by Isotope Tagging), a simultaneous system-wide map of the transcriptome and proteome could be obtained. By applying this combined framework to cells undergoing the Unfolded Protein Response the first dynamic map of how the cell co-ordinately reorganises its transcriptome and proteome in stress conditions was generated with unprecedented resolution (Villanueva, Smith & Pizzinga, BioRxiv 2022.
Eneko studied Biology at the Pompeu Fabra University, and later obtained a PhD in Biomedical Research in the University of Barcelona. His research focused on how viruses evolve to optimise their protein synthesis; as well as learning how to engineer them to constrain this synthesis to tumours and develop oncolytic viruses. Currently, as a Welcome Trust Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cambridge Center for Proteomics, he is following the “Keep It Simple” paradigm to develop new technologies combining transcriptomics and proteomics to understand how RNA and proteins interact in space and time.

MARS is the platform of choice for CTCs, DTCs and MRDs. The system offers recovery as low as 1 in 5 million. The platform preserves rare tumor cells, ensuring these cells are preserved for analysis. Larger tumor cells can be easily enriched with our acoustics method wash before requiring magnetic enrichment. There is no need for centrifugation. Less manipulation means higher recovery and higher viability. Our small fluidics pathway minimizes the loss of “sticky” cells.
Join us for a webinar introducing MARS® technology and its use examples. Our Guest Elizabeth M. Chislock, Ph.D., is a Senior Research Investigator in the laboratory of Dr. Lewis Chodosh in the Department of Cancer Biology at the University of Pennsylvania.

A major challenge to combating cancer is the dynamism and inherent heterogeneity contributing to the disease’s onset, progression, and relapse. In the enormous efforts to identify the factors underlying these factors, bulk sequencing is widely used, but the need for unmasking the underlying genetic diversity across cell populations remains unmet.
Single-cell DNA sequencing can be used to interrogate clonal mosaicism and neoplastic transformation, metastatic dissemination, and therapeutic resistance with its ability to co-analyze SNVs and CNVs at the single-cell level in a scalable manner. As a tool for probing clonal architecture and evolution, researchers can identify zygosity, mutational co-occurrence, and rare mutations in individual cells.
Jorge Reis-Filho of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center will share the strategies for characterizing intratumor heterogeneity and evolutionary trajectories in cancers at the single-cell level and present his latest findings in breast cancer research.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive leukemia that occurs most frequently in children and is characterized by the presence of few chromosomal rearrangements and additional mutations. In this webinar, the second in a “Meet the Authors” series sponsored by Mission Bio, Jan Cools of the VIB Center for Cancer Biology in Leuven, Belgium will discuss the application of single-cell analysis to determine the clonal heterogeneity of the leukemia cells of ALL cases at diagnosis.
Dr. Cools’ lab used single-cell targeted DNA sequencing (Tapestri, Mission Bio) and single-cell RNA-sequencing (10x Genomics) to determine the clonal heterogeneity of the leukemia cells of 20 ALL cases at diagnosis and monitored the clonal evolution during chemotherapy treatment. Specifically, the lab designed a custom ALL panel and obtained accurate single-nucleotide variant and small insertion-deletion mutation calling for 305 amplicons covering 110 genes in about 4400 cells per sample and time point. Bone marrow and/or blood samples from 12 B-cell ALL and eight T-cell ALL patients were analyzed.
Dr. Cools will discuss how single-cell DNA amplicon sequencing is a sensitive assay to detect clonal architecture and evolution of the malignant cells in ALL, and present his findings published in the Blood paper, “Single-cell DNA amplicon sequencing reveals clonal heterogeneity and evolution in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.”

High-throughput spatial-temporal proteomics for the study of phospho-signaling dynamics
Dr. Ana Martinez del Val Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, Denmark
Ana obtained her PhD at the Proteomics Unit in the Spanish National Cancer Research Center, where she was working on quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics applied to stem cell biology. In 2019 she joined the lab of Jesper Olsen at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research in Copenhagen, where she is working on further applications of mass spectrometry-based proteomics to study signaling and disease.
The presentation will focus on the application of high-throughput spatial-temporal proteomics workflows for the study of phospho-signaling dynamics.
Dynamic changes in subcellular localization of signaling proteins is a general concept that eukaryotic cells evolved for eliciting a coordinated response to stimuli. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics in combination with subcellular fractionation can provide comprehensive maps of spatio-temporal regulation of cells, but involves laborious methods that did not include phospho-proteome analysis.
Ana will present a high-throughput workflow, based on sequential cell fractionation, to profile the global proteome and phospho-proteome dynamics across six distinct subcellular fractions. The workflow was benchmarked by studying spatio-temporal EGFR phospho-signaling dynamics in-vitro (HeLa cell cultures) and in-vivo in mouse tissues, and was also employed to assess the spatio-temporal events in response to stress related signaling, such as hyperosmotic shock, revealing cellular relocation of ribosomal proteins.

siRNA pools (siPOOLs) are high complexity pools of 30 optimally-designed siRNAs that were demonstrated to efficiently remove off-target effects and improve reliability of results (Hannus et al., 2014).
siPOOLs are suited for use against coding or long non-coding RNAs, selected isoforms or closely-related genes, and can be applied in combination to study synergistic gene interactions (Welsbie et al., 2017).
siPOOLs are ideal tools in drug discovery for target validation and target identification with custom or ready-made siPOOL libraries.
