Single cell sequencing of Asian giant softshell turtle
We isolated and performed scRNA-seq analysis on P. cantorii hemocytes in normal state and hibernation period to classify the hemocyte types and obtain the relevant cell maps. We identified the marker genes of each cell population and the differentiation pathways associated with their maturation. We also discovered different immune-related genes that might play crucial roles in hemocyte differentiation before and after hibernation.
