Timecourse single-cell RNA-seq of whole rabbit embryos sampled across gestational days 7, 8 and 9

We characterised the transcriptomic profiles of 146,133 individual cells (post-QC) from whole rabbit embryos spanning gestational days 7, 8 and 9. These experiments were performed to elucidate the molecular programmes underlying gastrulation and early organogenesis in a non-rodent mammal. Combined with existing datasets of early mouse development, our rabbit developmental atlas facilitates a broad cross-species approach to deciphering early human development. Cell libraries were prepared using the 10X Genomics Chromium platform.
