Genetic analysis in microwells

Abstract

Method of genetic analysis of single cell samples comprising the steps of a) providing at least one single cell sample contained in a microplate comprising at least 5 wells/cm2, wherein each single cell sample is contained in an individual well of said microplate, said single cell sample being selected from a single cell and cells expanded from one single cell; b) lysing each of said at least one single cell sample in each of said individual well(s) to obtain DNA from said at least one single cell sample; c) amplifying a genetically relevant portion of said DNA by performing a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to obtain an amplified PCR-product in each of said individual well(s); and d) analyzing said amplified PCR-product in each of said individual well(s).
