Project description:We performed single-cell RNA-seq analysis with CITE-seq and cell hashing of total viable aortic cells from Ldlr-/- mice fed a high fat diet for 13 weeks
Project description:the aim 1 was to evaluate hashing (sample multiplexing) accuracy of TotalSeq-B antibodies and CellPlex (a multiplexing solution from 10x Genomics) on 2 pools of PBMCs from 3 different donors. Thus the genetic difference between donors was used as a ground truth for sample demultiplexing based on antibody or lipid hashing hashing. the aim 2 was to evaluate TotalSeq antibody and lipid hashing on different mice primary tissues using different hashing protocols.
Project description:Although classical single cell RNA analysis is a very powerful tool, it nevertheless has several drawbacks. To overcome these two disadvantages, the cell hashing technique seems interesting. In this work, we propose to test the feasibility and the reliability of the single cell hashing technique on primary AML cells. For this purpose, we compared the transcriptomic profile of AML cells analyzed by the classical single-cell RNA sequencing approach versus the cell hashing technique.
Project description:Invertebrate antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) form the first line of defence against pathogenic microbes. Understanding AMP profiles in helminths, their importance to helminth biology, and how they shape microbial communities could reveal novel approaches for anthelmintic and/or antimicrobial development. In this study, we employed a LC-MS/MS peptidomics pipeline to validate a novel integrated homology- and computational-based pipeline for the discovery of helminth AMPs. Our peptidomics pipeline found 60 high-confidence PSMs correlating to 15 high-confidence novel AMP-LPs within Ascaris suum body-cavity fluid supporting the need for further characterisation of these peptides and their functions within helminths.
Project description:To study developmental trajectories in brain organoids, we conducted scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq in parallel on a dense timecourse of early development.
