Project description:Single cell RNA-seq was performed on healthy mouse skin fibroblasts. This data along with single cell transcriptomics datasets of fibroblasts from other healthy tissues was used to construct a steady state mouse fibroblast atlas.
Project description:Cells were generated for a single cell atlas of adult human skin to dissect the cellular and molecular organisation underpinning human skin immune barrier function. Surplus skin from breast reconstruction surgery was collected (n=3), then the top 200 μm layer was taken. Epidermis was separated from the dermis, and both layers were separately digested. Single cells were FACS sorted into eight categories, then loaded onto a 10x Genomics Chromium Controller, and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000.
Project description:Despite the recent application of single-cell RNA-sequencing to aspects of mouse skin biology, the full cellular heterogeneity of the mouse skin (including both epidermis and skin stroma) and its relationship with the hair cycle is still uncharted. In order to systematically compare the cellular composition of mouse skin during rest and hair growth, we created single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries from full thickness mouse skin cell suspensions sampled during anagen (5w) and telogen (9w).
