Figure Lengend Snippet: Design of individual barcoded lentiviral vectors Schematic of a lentiviral vector encoding a transcription factor (TF) and corresponding 20-bp barcode sequence. An example of unique 8-bp barcode (orange) flanked by 6-bp constant regions (gray) is shown. Viral elements are indicated in gray boxes, including 5′ and 3′ long terminal repeats (LTR), the constitutive splenic focus-forming virus (SFFV) promoter, the woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE), and the poly(A) sequence. The barcode is optimally positioned approximately 300 bp upstream of the poly(A) tail to enable detection by 3′ single-cell mRNA sequencing.
