Project description:We used Visium technology (10X Genomics) to infer cell-to-cell communication in ovarian and uterine tissue based on spatial proximity. Organs from 3-month mice in diestrus and 18-month old mice were collected and frozen in OCT. 10 µm thick tissue slices were placed on Visium Spatial Gene Expression Slides (10X Genomics) and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Libraries were prepared by manufacturer’s recommendations and sequenced on NovaSeq6000. For samples that were sequenced in two runs, both sequencing runs were merged when running spaceranger (10X Genomics). Original nd2 microscopy images and results of scRNA-seq (linked datasets) and spatial transcriptomics analysis are available at Biostudies (S-BIAD482 and S-BSST852).
Project description:Animal R.401 was infused with ex-vivo expanded T-regulatory cells. After adoptive transfer, PBMC were obtained and stained with surface antibodies. Single cell libraries from sorted populations were generated using a UMI-based droplet-partitioning platform (10X Genomics) and sequenced using a NextSeq 500 (Illumina). Resulting reads were processed using Cellranger software (10X Genomics) and downstream analysis was performed using Monocle6,7 using a negative binomial model of distribution with fixed variance.
