mRNA sequencing of epithelial cells from the esophagus and tongue

In this study, we used RNA sequencing to characterize a new population of taste buds found in the esophagus and compared them to their lingual counterpart. We concluded that esophageal taste buds share many markers with lingual taste buds althoug they seem to express less taste receptors in average.
