Single-nucleus RNA-seq of liver tissue of 3 months old mice to investigate crosstalk between ploidy and zonation

Single-nucleus RNA-seq-2 method that allows deep characterization of nuclei isolated from frozen archived tissues. We have used this approach to characterize the transcriptional profile of individual hepatocytes with different levels of ploidy. This method has the potential to explore archived samples, for instance to study the development and progression of disease in complex tissues. To illustrate the potential of this method, we have deeply characterized the cellular heterogeneity driven by spatial distribution and different levels of ploidy in the young adult mouse liver.
