Project description:We analyzed scRNA-seq data in human pluripotent stem cells derived neural tube models. This in vitro system recapitulates some key aspects of neural patterning in the entire neural tube, including both brain and SC regions, along both rostral-caudal and dorsal-ventral axes
Project description:Single-cell mRNA sequencing was overlaid with single-cell ATAC sequencing of the mouse E9.5 cranial region for both wildtype and miR-302 knockout embryos, an established example of a neural tube closure defect. The goals of this study were to compare changes in gene expression and chromatin accessibility upon loss of a stem cell miRNA and neural tube closure defect.
Project description:Self-elongating neural tube organoids recapitulate key aspects of the morphology, anterior-posterior patterning, neural crest emergence and neural differentiation of mouse embryo in vivo by self-organization. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyse the cell types and to reveal the sequence of transcriptional events in the emergence of neural crest cells and neural differentiation.
Project description:single-cell sequencing of the mouse cranial region at E8.25 (the start of neural tube closure, at E9.5 (the end of neural tube closure, and of a miR-302 knockout embryo at E9.5 (example of neural tube closure defrect).
