Bulk RNA sequencing of cycling and non-cycling NEUROG3-positive and negative human embryonic stem cell-derived pancreatic cells using a dual NEUROG3-reporter

Human embryonic stem cells with one allele of the NEUROG3 gene genetically modified into a fusion gene NEUROG3-LINKER-TAGRFPT-P2A-EGFP-NLS were differentiated into the pancreatic lineage until Stage 4 Day 1 of the in vitro differentiation protocol (Rezania et al., 2014, as modified in Petersen et al., 2017). GFP positive and negative cells were FAC-sorted according to their cell cycle state (G0/G1 or G2M), and the global transcriptomes of these four groups were compared using bulk RNA-seq.
