Single-cell genomics are enabling technologies, but their broad clinical application remains challenging. We report an easily adaptable approach for single-cell transcriptome and T cell receptor (TCR)-sequencing, and matched whole-genome sequencing from tiny, frozen clinical specimens. We achieve similar quality and biological outputs while reducing artifactual signals compared to data from matched fresh tissue samples. Profiling sequentially collected melanoma samples from the KEYNOTE-001

To demonstrate applicability to banked biospecimens of rare diseases, we generate a large uveal melanoma liver metastasis single-cell and matched WGS atlas, which revealed niche-specific impairment of clonal T cell expansion. This study provides a foundational framework for propelling single-cell genomics to the clinical arena.
