AbstractSingle-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses provide powerful strategies for unbiased determination of cell types in mammalian tissues. Although previous studies have identified cell types using individual molecular signatures, the generation of consensus cell type classification requires the integration of multiple data types. Most existing single-cell techniques can only make one type of molecular measurement. Here we describe single-nucleus methylcytosine and transcriptome

... ncing (snmCT-seq), a multi-omic method that requires no physical separation of DNA and RNA molecules. We demonstrated that snmCT-seq profiles generated from single cells or nuclei robustly distinguish human cell types and accurately measures cytosine DNA methylation and gene expression signatures of each cell type.
