Single-cell transcriptional landscape of long non-coding RNAs orchestrating mouse heart development.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) comprise the most representative transcriptional units of the mammalian genome. They are associated with organ development linked with the emergence of cardiovascular diseases. We used bioinformatic approaches, machine learning algorithms, systems biology analyses, and statistical techniques to define co-expression modules linked to heart development and cardiovascular diseases. We also uncovered differentially expressed transcripts in subpopulations of cardiomyocytes. Finally, from this work, we were able to identify eight cardiac cell-types; several new coding, lncRNA, and pcRNA markers; two cardiomyocyte subpopulations at four different time points (ventricle E9.5, left ventricle E11.5, right ventricle E14.5 and left atrium P0) that harbored co-expressed g
