Gene expression profile at single cell level of muscle cells from the main electric organ (EO) in the electric eel

Electrocytes are the cellular basis of electrogenesis. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the diversity of cells in the muscle from the main EO of the elctric eel and the distribution and abundance of electrocytes. The muscle sample from the main EO were analyzed using scRNAseq to find out electrocytes.

电细胞（Electrocytes）是发电现象的细胞基础。我们借助单细胞RNA测序（single cell RNA sequencing，scRNA-seq）技术，对电鳗主发电器官（EO）肌肉组织的细胞多样性，以及电细胞的分布与丰度进行分析；同时通过该测序手段对该主发电器官的肌肉样本开展检测，以筛选鉴定电细胞。
