Project description:scRNA-seq was used in order to produce a cell type atlas of the larval and adult sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) brain. This resource enabled us to reveal the cell type composition and molecular organization of a representative of a lineage (i.e., the cyclostomes) that diverged from the rest of vertebrates around 500 million years ago, and lays the foundations for a better comprehension of vertebrate brain evolution
Project description:DNA was isolated from tissues (blood, sperm, or liver). DNA from different tissues from the same organism were labeled with alternate fluorophores (Cy3 or Cy5) and hybridized to a custom array that was designed from lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) genomic sequence.
