  • 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.

        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...

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
