We describe a method for targeted sequencing of expressed mutations in single cells. The approach exploits the reverse transcriptase and nick translation activities of the Bst DNA polymerase (Full Length) from Bacillus stearothermophilus (BstFL) to perform an RNA-templated gap filling and ligation between flanking probes. Integrated with probe-based single cell RNAseq workflows, it enables simultaneous whole transcriptomic and multiplexed mutation profiling from the same cell, overcoming key limitations of mutation detection in existing scRNA-seq approaches.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
