Single-cell transcriptional landscape of human embryonic limb development - Mouse
To investigate into the evolutionary conversation of the single-cell transcriptome of human fetal limbs, especially the principles of forelimb and hindlimb specification and proximal-distal axis establishment, we collected the forelimbs and hindlimbs of mouse embryos matching human samples. We dissected the limbs to separate proximal, middle and distal parts and generated single-cell RNA-seq data of more than 70,000 cells. Combining this dataset with our human data, we are able to see highly conserved limb cell types and limb axis drivers.
