Single-cell RNA sequencing of Blood-infiltrating HSC-derived phagocytes of Ms4a3Ai14 using 10X Genomics platform. IFN-γ and GM-CSF control complementary differentiation programs in the monocyte to phagocyte transition during neuroinflammation.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of Blood-infiltrating HSC-derived phagocytes of Ms4a3Ai14 at onset and peak EAE using 10X Genomics platform.

The sorted cells were loaded into 10x Genomics Chromium in parallel. Libraries were prepared as per the manufacturer's protocol (Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3ʹ Reagent Kits v3.1 protocol) and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq sequencer according to 10X Genomics recommendations (paired-end reads, R1=28, i7=8, R2=91) to a depth of around 50,000 reads per cell.

Initial processing was done using Cell Ranger (v3.1.0) mkfastq and count (reads were aligned to GENCODE reference build GRCm38.p6 Release M23 with added tdTomato sequence for the dataset from Ms4a3Ai14 mouse and collapse UMIs). Starting from the filtered gene-cell count matrix produced by CellRranger's in-built cell calling algorithms, we proceeded with Seurat v4 workflow.
