Fluidigm Based Single-cell Gene Expression Library Preparation from Patient-derived Small Intestinal Organoids

In this protocol, we describe our methods to isolate crypts from patients' biopsy samples and to culture human intestinal stem cells as it's called "organoid." Beyond that, we describe how to dissociate organoids cells into single cells for single-cell analysis as a further application. This protocol should provide investigators sufficient tools to generate human organoids from biopsy samples and to accomplish a stable in-vitro assay system.
