Division tracking, index sorting, and single-cell entropy in human haematopoietic stem cells v1
Abstract
This protocol produces the primary dataset of the Track A core pilot of the StemEntropy programme: human haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with known division history and per-cell age-associated single-cell entropy, from the same cells. Peripheral blood (G-CSF mobilised) or bone-marrow-derived CD34+ HSCs are enriched, labelled with CFSE or PKH26, cultured under division-driving conditions with time-resolved sampling, index-sorted by dye-dilution peak, and processed for single-cell RNA-seq (and optionally scATAC-seq). Division number and effective division rate are computed from dye dilution; age-associated entropy is computed by the fixed pipeline of the Stage 1 report (re-derived HSC ageing-clock component as primary selection metric, VarID2 noise as cross-check, manifold-deviation entropy as exploratory). The dataset decides hypotheses H1 (division–entropy association) and H2 (selectability) of the Registered Report.
