    摘要: In order to conduct gene expression analysis of a number of genes in a number of cells, it has been necessary to separate cells, extract genes therefrom, amplify nucleic acids, and perform sequence analysis. However, separation of cells imposes damages on the cells, and it requires the use of an expensive system. Gene expression analysis in each cell can be carried out with high accuracy by arranging a pair of structures comprising a cell trapping section and a nucleic acid trapping section in a vertical direction to extract individual genes in relevant cells, synthesizing cDNA in the nucleic acid trapping section, amplifying nucleic acids, and analyzing the sequences using a next-generation sequencer.

    摘要: In order to interpret an arbitrary sequence region in many genes in many cells, it is necessary to degrade a nucleic acid into fragments and introduce a sequence that is different from one cell to another into each of the fragments. However, in the conventional configuration for analyzing many cells, there has been a problem that mixing of the degraded fragments among areas occurs before a tag sequence unique for each of the areas is introduced. The present invention provides a system for capturing a nucleic acid extracted from a cell in each of plural areas on a substrate and synthesizing a complementary DNA (cDNA) of the nucleic acid for each of the areas, wherein the system also includes a means for immediately introducing a tag sequence unique for each of the areas to the reaction product.

    摘要: The present invention aims to provide a data analysis apparatus capable of clustering appropriately even when there is an exceptional datum resulted from an experimental error and the like. In the data analysis apparatus according to the invention, a cluster range parameter for stretching a cluster boundary is determined in advance according to the range of an experimental error which an experimental error datum describes. In the process of clustering, an exceptional datum which does not belong to any cluster is determined to belong to a cluster when an area at a distance determined by the cluster range parameter from the exceptional datum is contained in the cluster, and the exceptional datum is determined to form an independent cluster when even the area at the distance is not contained in any cluster (see FIG. 7).
