Single-cell transcriptome analysis of mouse main olfactory epithelium

The goal of scRNA-seq is to explore whether olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) that display a specific olfactory receptor (OR) express a distinct transcriptional program from OSNs that display a different OR in a large and unbias scale. Olfactory epithelial single cell suspensions were made using 3 male and 3 female mice. Single-cell sequencing libraries were prepared using Chromium Single Cell 3’ Reagent Kit V3 (10X Genomics) according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Libraries were sequenced using 150 cycles of paired end reads on Illumina Hiseq4000 and Novaseq6000 instruments (Novogene). The sequencing reads were processed using the DolphinNext Single Cell-10X Genomics pipeline (https://dolphinnext.umassmed.edu/index.php?np=1&id=420, default settings except STAR v2.6.1 was used for alignment). Olfactory epithelial single cell suspensions made from 3 male and 3 female adult mice.
