Adult nucleus accumbens single-nucleus RNA-seq dataset for "Distinct subpopulations of D1 medium spiny neurons exhibit unique transcriptional responsiveness to cocaine"

This dataset contains single-nucleus RNA sequencing results from adult rat brain (nucleus accumbens) and serves as the basis for characterization of transcriptional response to repeated cocaine injections (20mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection). The goal of this experiment was to define the transcriptional response to repeated cocaine across distinct cell types in the nucleus accumbens. Single-cell sequencing was carried out with FACS-sorted nuclei isolated from these experiments using the 10X Genomics Chromium single cell sequencing platform. Overall design: This experiment contains 4 biological samples. Samples were adult rat nucelus accumbens brain tissue isolated from rats 1hr after the final (7th) daily treatment with either saline or cocaine. Tissue was lysed to allow for nuclei collection via centrifugation. FACS-sorted nuclei were subject to 10X Genomics GEM generation and barcoding, GEM-RT cleanup and cDNA amplication, and library construction using a Chromium Single Cell 3' Reagent Kit (v3 chemistry). Libraries underwent directional, paired-end PolyA+ RNA-seq on an Illumina Next-seq 500. Each sample has multiple raw fastq files, corresponding to different sequencing lanes (e.g., L001, L002, etc) and different reads (e.g., R1, R2). Additional index files are also provided for each sample and each lane (I1).
