Single cell transcriptome sequencing can sequence hundreds of thousands of cells simultaneously because each cell is tagged with a different tag, and each mRNA is similarly assigned a unique molecular tag in order to distinguish each mRNA in each cell. The current micro-fluidic platform for single cell sequencing is mainly characterized in that a single cell and a single microsphere with a molecular label and a cell label are placed in a micropore environment, after the cell is cracked, different cells can carry specific cell labels, and different mRNA of the same cell is marked by different molecular labels through reverse transcription. The method can track the cell source of each gene, can quantify mRNA, obviously improves sequencing flux, reduces sequencing cost and lightens the influence of amplification preference. However, the latest single cell sequencing based on the droplet microfluidic technology exists at present, complex multiple steps can be integrated on one microfluidic chip, the traditional microspheres with molecular labels have the problems of high manufacturing cost, difficulty in preparation, low preparation success rate, unstable effects of different batches and the like, the most serious reason is that the droplet microfluidic technology is difficult to form single packages on the traditional microspheres, the stability and the accuracy of single cell sequencing results are influenced, and meanwhile, the single cell sequencing cost is high, and the method can not be widely applied.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the embodiment of the invention discloses a large-volume non-rigid polyacrylamide microsphere with an oligonucleotide sequence.
The surface of the polyacrylamide microsphere is sequentially modified and linked with three or more oligonucleotide sequences, wherein the oligonucleotide sequences comprise three segments, D1, D2 and D3.
The sequence of D1 is: ACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT [ X ] A; the sequence of D2 is CTG [ Y ] A, and the sequence of D3 is CTG [ Z ] polyT.

Connecting the three segments by chemical bonds and DNA ligase or polymerase, connecting the three segments to polyacrylamide microspheres, and synthesizing the polyacrylamide microspheres with oligo sequences.
The polyacrylamide microsphere also contains auxiliary sequences RC2 and RC 3; RC2 is the complementary sequence of ACTG [ Y ] and RC3 bits [ Z ] and [ polyT ].
Further, X represents an arbitrary DNA sequence 6-12bp long;
further, Y represents an arbitrary DNA sequence 6 to 12bp long;
further, Z represents an arbitrary DNA sequence 6-12bp long.
Further, polyT represents 15-25 Ts.
The invention also provides a method for synthesizing microspheres with specific oligonucleotide sequences, which comprises the following steps:

(2) preparing polyacrylamide microspheres by using an oligonucleotide sequence D1, polyacrylamide microsphere monomers and an initiator through a microfluidic technology to obtain a polyacrylamide microsphere mixture A connected with D1;
(3) adding DNA ligase into the polyacrylamide microsphere mixture A obtained in the step (2) to obtain a mixed system M; mixing the oligonucleotide sequence D2 and the auxiliary sequence RC2 with a mixing system M to obtain a polyacrylamide microsphere mixture B connected with D1 and D2;
(4) and (3) adding DNA ligase into the polyacrylamide microsphere mixture B obtained in the step (3) to obtain a mixed system N, mixing the oligonucleotide sequence D3 and the auxiliary sequence RC3 with the mixed system N to obtain polyacrylamide microspheres connected with D1, D2 and D3, and collecting and re-suspending the polyacrylamide microspheres in a water phase to obtain the polyacrylamide microspheres with molecular tag sequences. Furthermore, the diameter of the microsphere is 30-300 microns as compared with the size of a flow channel commonly used by a microfluidic chip in the market, so that the flow channel is easily occupied, and liquid drops can be arranged in the flow channel in order and in a single column. The polyacrylamide microsphere has a specific nucleotide sequence and has the following beneficial effects:
1. the volume is large, the micro-fluidic chip is customized according to the size of a common micro-fluidic chip flow channel on the market, and the stability is high; 2. because the polyacrylamide microspheres are soft and slightly elastic, one flow channel can be occupied independently and arranged orderly in practical use, and the blockage in the flow channel is less prone to be caused than that caused by hard materials; 3. the difficulty of wrapping a single microsphere by a droplet is obviously reduced, so that the microsphere is more suitable for single cell sequencing based on droplet microfluidics than the traditional hard small microsphere, the single wrapping rate is more than 80%, and the stability and the accuracy of a single cell sequencing result are improved; 4. the surface of the polyacrylamide microsphere is modified and linked with three or more different oligonucleotide sequences, so that the microsphere has a plurality of varieties.

Then 2.5uL of T4DNA ligase and 5 mu L T4DNA ligase Buffer (10X) are added into each hole, 12.5uL of water is added, the mixture is uniformly mixed and then placed in a PCR instrument for reaction, the procedure is that a hot cover is arranged at 105 ℃, the temperature is 25 ℃ for 20min, the mixture is kept on ice for 1h, and the third step of ligation reaction is completed after 4 ℃. The reaction product was washed five times with TE buffer to obtain polyacrylamide microspheres linked to the sequences D3, D2 and D1.
In this embodiment, polyacrylamide microspheres having oligonucleotide sequences (hereinafter referred to as "microspheres") are aligned in a flow channel in a single row, so that the rate of entry of a micro-flow from a branch flow channel into a main flow channel can be controlled, and the probability of single encapsulation of the microspheres can be increased. The single-encapsulation rate (i.e. the ratio of droplets containing only one microsphere to the total number of droplets) is calculated by taking a picture of the obtained droplets under a microscope, and then calculating the number of droplets containing only one microsphere and the total number of all droplets, wherein the ratio of the former to the latter is the single-encapsulation rate, i.e. the encapsulation rate is the number of successful single-encapsulated particle droplets/the total number of droplets. Calculated according to fig. 5, the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres prepared in this example was 88%.
The encapsulation rate of the microspheres is far lower than the encapsulation rate of 20 percent of the traditional droplet microfluidic technology (such as dropseq) by using a magnetic bead microsphere method.
The particle size distribution of the microspheres prepared by the method is 30-300 mu m, and the particle size of the microspheres can be adjusted according to actual needs. The microspheres prepared in this example have uniform diameter and size distribution of 40-54 μm, and a coefficient of variation CV of size of 5% (as shown in FIG. 4).
In the embodiment of the invention, the polyacrylamide material is tough, soft and slightly elastic, and is less prone to blocking a micro-channel than hard microspheres.
In the embodiment of the invention, the target detection cell sap is diluted, so that the speed of the target cells entering the main flow channel from the branch flow channel is slower than the speed of the microspheres entering the main flow channel, thereby realizing the single cell encapsulation of liquid drops.
In the embodiment of the invention, the flow rate of the oil phase is controlled to control the size of the liquid drop, so that the probability that the target cell and the microsphere are simultaneously and singly wrapped by the liquid drop is controllable. If the droplet is too small, the probability that the target cell and the microsphere are simultaneously covered is low, and if the droplet is too large, the probability that the target cell and the microsphere are simultaneously covered is also low, and it may be difficult to generate a droplet.
The polyacrylamide microsphere with the oligonucleotide sequence eliminates the increase of single wrapping difficulty caused by the difficulty in controlling the speed of the small-volume microsphere entering the main flow channel in a microflow, and compared with a hard microsphere, the polyacrylamide is tough, soft and slightly elastic and is less prone to blocking the microflow channel.
In conclusion, the polyacrylamide microspheres have larger volume, are customized according to the size of a common microfluidic chip flow channel on the market, and can independently fill one flow channel and be arranged orderly in practical use due to the slightly soft and micro-elastic texture of the polyacrylamide microspheres, so that the difficulty of wrapping a single microsphere by a liquid drop is obviously reduced, the microspheres are more suitable for single cell sequencing based on the droplet microfluidic than the traditional hard microspheres, and the stability and the accuracy of a single cell sequencing result are improved.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention; it is intended that the following claims be interpreted as including all such alterations, modifications, and equivalents as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
