scRNA-seq on C57BL/6J mice retina
Fresh retinatissues were harvested from 30 day old C57BL/6J mice according to published protocols. 3 retinas were pooled together to form one biological sample. Under a dissecting microscope, spring scissors were used to puncture the eye and remove the cornea, iris, and lens. The remaining eyecup had 4 radial incisions made every 90 degrees, resulting in a flat and open eye cup. The retina was then gently removed using curved tweezers and placed in a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube.
