  • mRNA signature by cell-type

    I'm new to this forum, and rather ignorant of sequencing and biology. I'm a mathematician by training, now working with biologists and computer scientists.

    The group I work with is interested in mouse pancreas. In particular, I was wondering if anyone has a pointer to an mRNA signature of any pancreatic cell-type in mouse. Apart from cell-types that are special to the pancreas, like beta cells, we are also interested in the mRNA signatures of, for example, macrophages, that are common to all organs.

    Finding the signature of a cell type involves sorting cells into cell types and then sequencing samples with only one cell-type (or mostly one cell-type).

    If anyone know of a forum where this question is more appropriate, I would be grateful to be told.

    Maybe someone has information from one or more mouse pancreas cell-lines.

    Have you tried searching NCBI's GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) or Array Express at the EBI, to see if anyone has deposited gene expression data for these cell types?

      Haven't looked there yet, but will now do so. Thanks.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin


        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
