Tau protein's role in Alzheimer's disease was studied by introducing a human tau mutation into Drosophila using CRISPR. Single-cell RNA sequencing helped identify genes and pathways involved in tauopathy.
Bulk RNAseq data of human pluripotent stem cells differentiated into microglia was generated using Illumina TruSeq kit. Cells were induced through mesodermal and myeloid differentiation to produce microglia-like cells, mimicking human microglia.
Bulk RNAseq data of hES and hiPSCs differentiated into dopaminergic neurons from ventral midbrain fate were generated using Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA kit. Detailed protocols for differentiation can be found at protocols.io.
