Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 9,926 nuclei in opossum adult testis. This dataset includes three samples from three different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
Project description:Monodelphis domestica develops ex utero. Here, we have investigated the changes in the transcriptomics of adipose tissue during juvenile development to get further insights into the reprograming in marsupial mammals.
