Project description:Dysfunctional intestinal monocyte-derived macrophages contribute to pathology in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Signals from the tissue micro-environment contribute to this dysfunction, however growing evidence suggests that monocytes can be primed for inflammatory function prior to tissue recruitment. Here we use single-nucleus multiomics, comprising RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) to identify regulatory elements underlying the altered transcriptional profile in monocytes from newly diagnosed, treatment naive Crohn’s disease patients.
Project description:Human pelvic girdle, especially the ilium is considered an evolutionary novelty. To understand the genetic architecute behind the formation of this structure, we conducted single cell multiomics across developmental stages.
Project description:To trace immune responses in COVID-19 patients with severity, we performed in-depth, longitudinal single-cell multiomics involving T-cell receptor (TCR)/B-cell receptor (BCR) sequencing, feature barcoded antibody (Ab) panel detection (i.e., cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing, CITE-seq) followed by RNA sequencing in a single-cell resolution.
Project description:Cell functions across eucaryotes are driven by specific gene expression programs that are dependent on chromatin structure. Here, we report a single-cell multiomics atlas of rice, one of the world’s major crop plants. By simultaneously profiling chromatin accessibility and RNA expression in 116,564 cells from eight organs we were able to identify cell-type specific gene regulatory networks and describe novel cell states, such as the “transition status” in floral meristems during panicle development. Based on our network analyses we uncovered the function of cell type-specific regulatory hubs RSR1, F3H and LTPL120 for rice development. Importantly, our analysis revealed a correlation between cell type and agronomic traits, and conserved and divergent cell type functions during evolution. In summary, this study not only offers a valuable single-cell multiomics resource for a major crop, but also enriches our understanding of the intricate roles and molecular underpinnings of individual cell types in rice.
