(v)�� This requirement is for the following items: Chromium Consumables. (vi)�� A Chromium system enables researchers in the Laboratory of Genomics and Genetics, National Institute on Aging (LGG/NIA)�to capture between 10,000 to 80,000 single cells, mark them with a bar-code and a second unique molecular code that can be tagged to genomic DNA, or RNA.� Following downstream procedures to isolate DNA or RNA and sequencing, these unique codes are read, deconvoluted and stratified to learn the nature of transcripts or status of DNA within each captured single cell.� This procedure is highly valuable to distinguish the cellular complexity of a tissue based on the nature of transcription profile, identify DNA status in individual cells in terms of its DNA accessibility for transcription, nature of insertions and deletions. There is a wide interest in the field to understand the composition of solid and hematopoietic tissues and define the nature of resident stem cells and their fate during aging. The method helps to distinguish cell types with different functions, which can then be marked with specific antibodies and followed during development, differentiation and aging.� This method will allow NIA to approach these goals with high efficiency. The essential characteristics of the 10X Genomics Chromium System that limit the availability to a sole source are ability to collect single cells mark them such the DNA and RNA isolated from these cells are tagged with a unique tag and allows one to assess the differences in cell population isolated from a tissue or tumor and identify cell heterogeneity. This system can isolate >10,000 cells in a single lane and using 8 lanes available on the chip it can isolate up to 80,000 cells.� The system is provided with software to analyze the resulting transcription profiles and score variants.�This is a full and open competitive 10X Genomics Brand Name or Equal acquisition.� (vii)�� Independently and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, material, equipment, and facilities, not otherwise provided by the Government as needed.
