Abstract

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are valuable but underutilized in single-cell omics research due to their low RNA quality. In this study, leveraging a recent advance in single-cell genomic technology, we introduce snPATHO-seq, a versatile method to derive high-quality single-nucleus transcriptomic data from FFPE samples. We benchmarked the performance of the snPATHO-seq workflow against existing 10x 3’ and Flex assays designed for frozen or fresh samples and highlighted the consistency in snRNA-seq data produced by all workflows. The snPATHO-seq workflow also demonstrated high robustness when tested across a wide range of healthy and diseased FFPE tissue samples. When combined with FFPE spatial transcriptomic technologies such as FFPE Visium, the snPATHO-seq provides a multi-modal sampling approach for FFPE samples, allowing more comprehensive transcriptomic characterization.
