SIGNAL-seq: Multimodal Single-cell Inter- and Intra-cellular Signalling Analysis

We present SIGNAL-seq (Split-pool Indexing siGNalling AnaLysis by sequencing): a multiplexed split-pool combinatorial barcoding method that simultaneously measures RNA and post-translational modifications (PTMs) in fixed single cells from 3D models. SIGNAL-seq PTM measurements are equivalent to mass cytometry and RNA gene detection is analogous to split-pool barcoding scRNA-seq. By measuring both mRNA ligand-receptor pairs and PTMs in single cells, SIGNAL-seq can simultaneously uncover inter- and intra-cellular regulation of tumour microenvironment plasticity. ### Competing Interest Statement J.O. and C.J.T. are listed as inventors on patent application 2312260.9 describing SIGNAL-seq.
