RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

Technology, connected
to your research question.

From archival cohorts to same-cell mechanistic evidence, then spatial and functional validation. Find a clear path to the next experiment.

CHOOSE THE QUESTION, THEN THE ASSAY

Choose the research question.
Then the assay.

These are research scenarios and study-design examples, not clinical diagnostic indications.

01Building on published research

Primary–recurrence cohorts

Which clonal relationships persist from primary disease to recurrence?

Sample starting point
Paired FFPE with a clear timeline and pathology records.
Analysis focus
Single-cell CNA, subclone composition, shared/additional events and candidate evolutionary models.
Validation and design notes

DNA-level validation of candidate CNAs and independent-case replication.

Discuss this direction
02Study-design extension

Pre/post-treatment and residual disease

Does treatment change clonal composition, cell state, or both?

Sample starting point
Pre/post-treatment FFPE; assess wellDR-seq separately when fresh tissue is available.
Analysis focus
Compare clone fractions and CNA events alongside the treatment timeline.
Validation and design notes

Account for regimens, sampling bias and pathology response; not an individual treatment recommendation.

03Published breast-study foundation

Early lesions and cell-of-origin hypotheses

Which normal-lineage signals are retained by ancestral clones?

Sample starting point
Assessed fresh tissue; normal, adjacent and lesion controls where relevant.
Analysis focus
Same-cell genomic clones, RNA states and lineage-associated signals.
Validation and design notes

Tissue localization, markers and functional studies; origin signals are hypotheses, not proof.

Discuss this direction
04Building on published research

Gene dosage and candidate mechanisms

Which expression programs associate with a CNA-defined subclone?

Sample starting point
Fresh tissue suitable for the same-cell workflow, informed by existing findings.
Analysis focus
Clone–expression pairing, dosage-associated candidates and validation priorities.
Validation and design notes

Genetic perturbation, protein assays and external cohorts; distinguish association from causation.

Discuss this direction
05Exploratory collaboration

Clones and the spatial microenvironment

Where might a candidate clone reside, and which cells surround it?

Sample starting point
Annotated tissue and compatible spatial data or adjacent sections.
Analysis focus
Candidate clone mapping and neighborhood hypotheses; cross-data association, not automatically same-cell.
Validation and design notes

Clone-specific CNA, FISH or suitable in situ validation of localization.

Discuss this direction
06Exploratory collaboration

Organoids and functional validation

Which clones are retained in a model, and how do they change with perturbation?

Sample starting point
Organoids or experimental models with matched source tissue, subject to technical assessment.
Analysis focus
Tissue–model concordance, clonal selection and candidate-gene experimental design.
Validation and design notes

Use independent replicates and appropriate controls; model drug response is not patient efficacy.

DESIGN EXAMPLE · NOT A COMPLETED CUSTOMER CASE

Example: break resistance
into three testable layers.

The following extends platform capabilities into a study design. It is not a completed customer case or dataset.

01

Clonal layer

Compare paired DNA data before and after intervention for evidence of clonal selection.

02

State layer

Use wellDR-seq in suitable fresh specimens to relate clones to transcriptional programs.

03

Functional layer

Test candidate genes in independent models and use spatial or pathology data to explore environmental factors.
