Transcriptomic profiling of human purified intestinal epithelial samples and organoids from paediatric and foetal small and large intestine

Human intestinal epithelial organoids (IEO) culture models are rapidly emerging as novel experimental tools to investigate fundamental aspects of intestinal epithelial (patho)physiology. Cellular source and culture protocols vary between different IEO models and reliable markers for their characterization/validation are currently limited. Here, we provide the following reference datasets of transcriptomic profiling by RNA-sequencing: Purified intestinal epithelial cells (EpCAM+) from paediatric ileum and colon, Intestinal organoid cultures from paediatric ileum and colon, Purified intestinal epithelial cells (EpCAM+) from foetal small intestine and foetal large intestine, Intestinal organoid cultures from foetal small intestine and foetal large intestine, Intestinal organoid cultures derived from induced pluripotent stem cells.
