Single cell transcriptional profiles of control and Ikzf2-transfected mouse cochlear cells

In order to determine the transcriptional effect of Ikzf2 overexpression in mammalian auditory hair cells, mouse cochleae were transfected with either a control GFP or a Ikzf2 virus between postnatal day 1 and 3 (P1-3) and then harvested for single cell gene expression profiling at postnatal day 8 (P8) on the 10X Genomics Single Cell 3' v2 platform. Dataset is composed of two separate single cell RNA-Seq samples captured on the 10X Genomics Chromium platform with the Single Cell 3' Solution v2 chemistry. Viral GFP- (control) or Ikzf2-transfected cochleae were harvested and single cell suspensions prepared from transgenic mice expressing tdTomato in hair cells. Hair cells expressing tdTomato were enriched by flow sorting and then captured on the Chromium system in parellel. Library preparation and sequencing was performed as defined by the 10X Genomics Single Cell 3' Solution v2 protocol.
