Barcode lineage tracking of ferret cortical progeny using TrackerSeq (Mayer lab)

ABSTRACT: Diversity of cortical radial glia cells (RGCs) and their complex relationships to generate neurons in species with expanded germinal zones and a folded cortex, remains unclear. We used TrackerSeq, a technique that integrates DNA barcodes into the genome of electroporated RGCs, to identify the distinct cell lineages that shape ferret cortex.

scRNA-seq of ferret cortical germinal zones from splenial gyrus and lateral sulcus (Borrell lab)

Project description:Diversity of cortical radial glia cells (RGCs) and their complex relationships to generate neurons in species with expanded germinal zones and a folded cortex, remains unclear. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of microdissected cortical germinal layers (ventricular zone (VZ) and outer subventricular zone (OSVZ)), from two cortical regions (splenial gyrus (SG) and neighboring lateral sulcus (LS)) at two critical time points for ferret cortex development (embryonic day (E) 34 and postnatal day (P) 1) to distinguish the molecular diversity of progenitors and newborn neurons, and study their transcriptomic trajectories.

Evolution of neuronal cell classes and types in the vertebrate retina [ferret]

Project description:The basic plan of the retina is conserved across vertebrates, yet species differ profoundly in their visual needs (Baden et al., 2020). One might expect that retinal cell types evolved to accommodate these varied needs, but this has not been systematically studied. Here, we generated and integrated single-cell transcriptomic atlases of the retina from 17 species: humans, two non-human primates, four rodents, three ungulates, opossum, ferret, tree shrew, a teleost fish, a bird, a reptile and a lamprey. Molecular conservation of the six retinal cell classes (photoreceptors, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, amacrine cells, retinal ganglion cells [RGCs] and Müller glia) is striking, with transcriptomic differences across species correlated with evolutionary distance. Major subclasses are also conserved, whereas variation among types within classes or subclasses is more pronounced. However, an integrative analysis revealed that numerous types are shared across species based on conserved gene expression programs that likely trace back to the common ancestor of jawed vertebrates. The degree of variation among types increases from the outer retina (photoreceptors) to the inner retina (RGCs), suggesting that evolution acts preferentially to shape the retinal output. Finally, we identified mammalian orthologs of midget RGCs, which comprise >80% of RGCs in the human retina, subserve high-acuity vision, and were believed to be primate-specific (Berson, 2008); in contrast, the mouse orthologs comprise <2% of mouse RGCs. Projections both primate and mouse orthologous types are overrepresented in the thalamus, which supplies the primary visual cortex. We suggest that midget RGCs are not primate innovations, but descendants of evolutionarily ancient types that decreased in size and increased in number as primates evolved, thereby facilitating high visual acuity and increased cortical processing of visual information.

Multiple parallel cell lineages in the developing mammalian cerebral cortex

Project description:Cortical neurogenesis follows a simple lineage: apical Radial Glia Cells (RGC) generate basal progenitors, and these produce neurons. How this occurs in species with expanded germinal zones and a folded cortex, like human, remains unclear. We used single-cell RNA sequencing from individual cortical germinal zones in ferret, and barcoded lineage tracking, to determine the molecular diversity of progenitor cells and their lineages. We identified multiple RGC classes that initiate parallel lineages, converging onto a common class of newborn neuron. Parallel RGC classes and transcriptomic trajectories were repeated across germinal zones and conserved in ferret and human, but not mouse. Neurons followed parallel differentiation trajectories in gyrus and sulcus, with different expression of human cortical malformation genes. Progenitor cell lineage multiplicity is conserved in the folded mammalian cerebral cortex. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Development of molecular genetic analysis tools for the domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo)

Project description:The domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) has been used as animal model for decades, largely because its susceptibility to infection with a large number of pathogens such as influenza virus, SARS Corona virus and Canine distemper virus. Despite its importance for biomedical research, little is known about the genome of the M. Furo. The number of reagents for molecular and immunological analysis is thus restricted. To circumvent this, we present here a parallel sequencing effort to produce an extensive EST dataset derived from a normalized ferret cDNA library made from mRNA from ferret blood, liver, lung, spleen and brain. We produced more than 500000 sequence reads that were assembled into over 15000 partial ferret transcripts. These ESTs were combined with the available ferret sequences in the GenBank to develop a ferret specific microarray platform. Using this array, we detected tissue specific expression patterns which were confirmed by quantitative real time PCR assays and comparison to orthologous transcription profiles of mouse and human. We also present a set of 41 ferret transcript with even transcription profile across the tested tissues, indicating their usefulness as housekeeping genes. This study paves way for development of additional reagents for analysis of the ferret model. Three biological replicates of blood, lung, spleen, liver and brain was hybridized to the ferret specific microarray.

Isolation of ferret astrocytes reveals their morphological, transcriptional, and functional differences from mouse astrocytes

Project description:To identify differently expressed genes between ferret and mouse astrocytes, we performed RNA-seq studies on primary ferret and mouse astrocytes cultured in serum free medium. We isolated primary astrocytes from mixed glial cultures which are prepared from the cortices of ferrets and mice at postnatal day 1. Each biological replicate was generated from 2 individuals of the same species. We detected substantial changes in the expression of genes associated with cell proliferation and migration, and identified ferret astrocyte-specific genes.

SRiD- A facile DNA barcode generation and management system for high throughput screening

Project description:20 random DNA barcodes were designed in silico and transfected into PC3 cells. Barcodes were sequenced using Illumina-Miseq technology to find the sequence and their respective copy numbers. Current file contains the raw data of these DNA barcodes in fastq format Validating an algorithm called SRiD that generates random DNA barcodes that do not match a genome of interest, in this case human genome. 20 DNA barcodes were used for this validation.
