Description
We performed an RNA Sequencing experiment on dorsal hippocampal tissue from six groups of animals: Aging (18-20-month-old) HDAC3flox/flox homecage (H3F-HC); Aging (18-20-month-old) HDAC3flox/flox 60min post training (H3F-BV); Aging (18-20-month-old) wildtype homecage (OWT-HC); Aging (18-20-month-old) wildtype 60min post training (OWT-BV); Young (2-4-month-old) wildtype homecage (YWT-HC); Young (2-4-month-old) wildtype 60min post training (YWT-BV). Homecage animals were sacrificed directly from the animal's cage. Behavior animals were sacrificed sixty minutes following a 10min Object Location Memory training session. Overall design: The objective of this study was to examine activity regulated gene expression in the dorsal hippocampus following a learning event in young (~3-m.o.) and old (~18-m.o.) wildtype and HDAC3flox/flox mutant mice. HDAC3 was deleted in dorsal hippocampus tissue of HDAC3flox/flox mice using AAV-CaMKII-Cre before behavior.

Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself, are poorly understood. Indeed, to date, no genes have been shown to directly affect the de novo production or quality of floral nectar. To address this gap in knowledge, the ATH1 Affymetrix GeneChip array was used to systematically investigate the Arabidopsis nectary transcriptome to identify genes and pathways potentially involved in nectar production. In this study, we identified a large number of genes differentially expressed between secretory lateral nectaries and non-secretory median nectary tissues, as well as between mature lateral nectaries (post-anthessis) and immature lateral nectary tissue (pre-anthesis).

Description
We performed an RNA Sequencing experiment on dorsal hippocampal tissue from four groups of animals: Baf53b+/- homecage (Baf53b+/- HC); Baf53b+/- behavior (Baf53b+/- Beh); wildtype homecage (WT HC); and wildtype behavior (WT Beh). Homecage animals were sacrificed directly from the animal's cage. Behavior animals were sacrificed thirty minutes following Object Location Memory training. The objective of this study was to examine activity regulated gene expression following a learning event (HC vs Beh) in wildtype and Baf53b+/- mutant mice. Overall design: Examination of gene expression following a learning event in wildtype and Baf53b+/- mutant mice in dorsal hippocampus.

Description
The difference in X chromosome copy number creates a potential difference in X chromosomal gene expression between males and females. In many animals, dosage compensation mechanisms equalize X chromosome expression between sexes. Yet, X chromosome is also enriched for sex-biased genes due to differences in the evolutionary history of the X and autosomes. The manner in which dosage compensation and sex-biased gene expression exist on the X chromosome remains an open question. Most studies compare gene expression between two sexes, which combines expression differences due to X chromosome number (dose) and sex. Here, we uncoupled the effects of sex and X dose in C. elegans and determined how each process affects expression of the X chromosome compared to autosomes. We found that in the soma, sex-biased expression on the X chromosome is almost entirely due to sex because the dosage compensation complex (DCC) effectively compensates for the X dose difference between sexes. In the germline where the DCC is not present, X chromosome copy number contributes to hermaphrodite-biased gene expression. These results suggest that X dose contributes to sex-biased gene expression based on the level of dosage compensation in different tissues and developmental stages. Overall design: RNA-Seq profiles of C. elegans XO hermaphrodite and XX male L3 larvae and adults

Description
Midbrain dopamine neurons project to numerous targets throughout the brain to modulate various behaviors and brain states. Within this small population of neurons exists significant heterogeneity based on physiology, circuitry, and disease susceptibility. Recent studies have shown that dopamine neurons can be subdivided based on gene expression; however, the extent to which genetic markers represent functionally relevant dopaminergic subpopulations has not been fully explored. Here we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse dopamine neurons and validated studies showing that Neurod6 and Grp are selective markers for dopaminergic subpopulations. Using a combination of multiplex fluorescent in situ hybridization, retrograde labeling, and electrophysiology in mice of both sexes, we defined the anatomy, projection targets, physiological properties, and disease vulnerability of dopamine neurons based on Grp and/or Neurod6 expression. We found that the combinatorial expression of Grp and Neurod6 defines dopaminergic subpopulations with unique features. Grp/Neurod6 dopamine neurons reside in the ventromedial VTA, send projections to the medial shell of the nucleus accumbens, and have noncanonical physiological properties. Grp/Neurod6- DA neurons are found in the VTA as well as in the ventromedial portion of the SNc, where they project selectively to the dorsomedial striatum. Grp-/Neurod6 DA neurons represent a smaller VTA subpopulation, which is preferentially spared in a 6-OHDA model of Parkinson's disease. Together, our work provides detailed characterization of Neurod6 and Grp expression in the midbrain and generates new insights into how these markers define functionally relevant dopaminergic subpopulations with distinct projection patterns, physiology, and disease vulnerability. Overall design: We collected a total of 384 neurons from 8 different p26-p34 DAT-Cre::Ai9 mice (6 male 2 female) to isolate DA neurons. RNA was captured from each samples neurons on separate fluidigm chips then all samples were pooled before sequencing.

Description
Fibrosis is the common final pathway of virtually all chronic injury to the kidney. While it is well accepted that myofibroblasts are the scar-producing cells in the kidney, their cellular origin is still hotly debated. The relative contribution of proximal tubular epithelium and circulating cells including mesenchymal stem cells, macrophages and fibrocytes to the myofibroblast pool remains highly controversial. Using inducible genetic fate tracing of proximal tubular epithelium we confirm that proximal tubule does not contribute to the myofibroblast pool. However, in parabiosis models in which one parabiont is genetically labeled and the other is unlabeled and undergoes kidney fibrosis, we demonstrate that a small fraction of genetically labeled renal myofibroblasts derive from the circulation. Single cell RNA-Sequencing confirms this finding but indicates that these cells are circulating monocytes, express few extracellular matrix or other myofibroblast genes and do express many proinflammatory cytokines. We conclude that this small circulating myofibroblast progenitor population contributes to renal fibrosis by paracrine rather than direct mechanisms. Overall design: Single cell RNA-seq was performed on FACS-sorted PDGFRB+CD45- and PDGFRB+CD45+ cell populations

Description
Human ILCs are classically categorized into five subsets; cytotoxic CD127-CD94+ NK cells and non-cytotoxic CD127+CD94-, ILC1s, ILC2s, ILC3s and LTi cells. Here, we identify a novel subset within the CD127+ ILC population, characterized by the expression of the cytotoxic marker CD94. These CD94+ ILCs strongly resemble conventional ILC3s in terms of phenotype, transcriptome and cytokine production, but are highly cytotoxic. IL-15 was unable to induce differentiation of CD94+ ILCs towards mature NK cells. Instead, CD94+ ILCs retained RORγt, CD127 and CD200R expression and produced IL-22 in response to IL-15. Culturing non-cytotoxic CD127+ ILC1s or ILC3s with IL-12 induced upregulation of CD94 and cytotoxic activity, effects that were not observed with IL-15 stimulation. Thus, human helper ILCs can acquire a cytotoxic program without differentiating into NK cells.

Description
To understand the basic biological property of hair cells (HCs) from lower vertebrates, we examined transcriptomes of adult zebrafish HCs. GFP-labeled HCs were isolated from the utricle, saccule, and lagena, the three inner-ear sensory epithelia of a pou4f3 promoter-driven GAP-GFP line of transgenic zebrafish. 2,000 HCs and 2,000 non-sensory cells from the inner ear were individually collected by suction pipet technique. RNA sequencing was performed and the resulting sequences were mapped, analyzed, and compared. Comparisons allow us to identify enriched genes in HCs, which may underlie HC specialization. Overall design: Examination of transcriptomes of adult zebrafish inner ear hair cells and surrounding cells individually collected and sorted using pou4f3 promoter-driven GFP marking hair cells.
