Copolymerization of single-cell nucleic acids into balls of acrylamide gel.

In a droplet, DNA or RNA from a single cell is annealed to a acrydite primer. An acrylamide gel is then polymerised before emulsion is broken. DNA strands are then polymerised. Barcoding is then done by split-and-pool method.
