Popis: Single cell sequencing methods facilitate the study of tissues at high resolution, revealing rare cell types with varying transcriptomes or genomes, but so far have been lacking the capacity to investigate cell-cell interactions. Here, we introduce CIM-seq, an unsupervised and high-throughput method to analyze direct physical cell-cell interactions between every cell type in a given tissue. CIM-seq is based on RNA sequencing of incompletely dissociated cells, followed by computational deconvolution of these into their constituent cell types using machine learning. CIM-seq is broadly applicable to studies that aim to simultaneously investigate the constituent cell types and the global interaction profile in a specific tissue.
