Sperm-seq is a high-throughput, droplet-based single-sperm sequencing technology capable of generating thousands of cell-barcoded single-sperm sequencing libraries at one time. This protocol describes Sperm-seq library generation, featuring a full protocol for sperm preparation and suggestions for droplet-based sequencing methods from 10X Genomics to employ. Sperm preparation can be completed in half a day and the full protocol can be completed in 2-3 days, with several wait times and break points.
Keywords
