Multi-site Assessment of Methods for Cell Preservation Upstream of Single Cell RNA Sequencing

Fred Kolling, Jessica W. Podnar, Owen Michael Wilkins, Claire J. Fraser, Madolyn L. MacDonald, Shawn W. Polson, Zachary T. Herbert, Sridar V. Chittur, Andrew Hayden, Marcy L. Kuentzel, Michael E. Heinz, Gabriella Huerta, Holly S. Stevenson, Aditi Karmakar, Catrina C. Fronick, , Charles A. Whittaker

This study evaluates three cell preservation methods for scRNA-seq across multiple sites, showing concordant cell type results but platform-specific gene expression differences and better granulocyte retention with preservation methods.
