Abstract
Post-Mortem Brain Nuclei Isolation for Single Nucleus RNA Sequencing
Charles Tran, Dept. of Biology, with Dr. Karolina Aberg, VCU School of Pharmacy
When tissue samples are studied in bulk without consideration for different cell proportions and types, results can be biased due to the attenuation of unique cellular expressions. In order to study cell type specific RNA expression profiles within tissue, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is used. For scRNA-seq studies it is critical to have intact cells. However, when investigating frozen post-mortem brain tissue, it is often challenging to isolate intact whole cells. An alternative solution is to …
