Single-cell RNA-sequencing of OMP-GFP mouse olfactory sensory neurons

We sequenced the transcriptome of 34 single olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) manually picked from OMP-GFP mice, ensuring the cells expressed high levels of GFP, a marker of mature OSNs. We pooled the olfactory mucosa from 2 male and 2 female animals, to obtain single-cell suspensions for cell picking. We only picked healthy-looking cells. From each, we constructed libraries for single-cell RNA-sequencing, to characterise the diversity of OR genes expressed.
