Systematic identification of oscillatory gene expression in single cell types

Alexis Weinreb, Manasa Basavaraju, Marc Hammarlund, Maxwell G. Heiman

The paper identifies oscillatory gene expression in specific cell types using single-cell RNA sequencing and computational methods, finding that cuticle-producing cells exhibit oscillatory patterns while neurons and muscle do not.

Expression profiling of the mature C. elegans nervous system by single-cell RNA-Sequencing

Seth R. Taylor, Gabriel Santpere, Molly B. Reilly, Lori Glenwinkel, Abigail Poff, Rebecca D. McWhirter, Chuan Xu, Alexis Weinreb, Manasa Basavaraju, Steven J. Cook, Alec Barrett, Alexander J. Abrams, Berta Vidal, Cyril Cros, Ibnul Rafi, , David M. Miller

Transcriptomes of 52,412 neurons resolve 109 of the 118 canonical hermaphrodite neuron classes, and neuropeptide genes separate subtypes inside individual classes.
