Single Cell Nucleic Acid Isolation
• Study presence (through DNA) or expression (through RNA) of specific genes– Identify cells of specific genotype for
experimentation– Offer clues to differential phenotypes under
specific conditions
• Study transcriptional variation between cells of same genotype

Parallel Architecture

Microfluidics
• Process requires minimal numbers of cells– Eliminate overnight culturing
steps– Study expression on the
single cell level– Study expression of slow
growing cells more easily

Application: Variable Expression of Motility Genes in Tumor Cells
W. Wang, et al. “Tumor cells caught in the act of invading: their strategy for enhanced cell motility,” TRENDS in Cell Bio. 15(3): pp. 138-145 (2005)
“There is, however, the possibility that these expression patterns reflect the noninvasive cells that make up the bulk of the tumor mass and that the expression signature of invasive tumor cells – arguably the motile population essential for metasasis – might be masked.”
“If a specific combination of gene expression patterns can be correlated with metastic ability, however, then such analyses can be predictive of metastatic outcome…”
