Project description:Single cell technologies have paved the way for the characterization of colorectal cancer.We performed scRNA-seq on human colorectal tumors and their matched adjacent-normal tissues and liver metastasis tissue. The heterogneity of the tumor immune microenvironment were analyzed.
Project description:Single cell RNA-sequencing has been applied to core and border regions of 9 colorectal tumors as well as to matched adjacent non-malignant colon tissue for the purpose of generating a cellular map of colorectal tumors and their tumor microenvironment.
Project description:We performed gene expression profiling of 26 colorectal tumors and matched histologically normal adjacent colonic tissue samples using the Illumina Ref-8 whole-genome expression BeadChip. We performed an integrated analysis of promoter DNA methylation and gene expression data to investigate the effects of DNA hypermethylation on gene expression. Total RNA was isolated from 26 pairs of fresh frozen colorectal tumor and matched adjacent non-tumor tissue samples. Their gene expression profiles were obtained using the Illumina Ref-8 whole-genome expression BeadChip (HumanRef-8 v3.0, 24,526 transcripts).
