چکیده
We used a single cell RNA-seq strategy to create an atlas of gene expression patterns in the developing kidney. At several stages of kidneydevelopment, histologically uniformpopulationsof cells give rise to multiple distinct lineages. We performed single cell RNA-seq analysis of total mouse kidneys at E11.5 and E12.5, as well as the renal vesicles at P4. We define an early stage of progenitor cell induction driven primarily by gene repression. Surprising stochastic expression of marker genes associated with differentiated cell types was observed in E11.5 progenitors. We provide a global view of the polarized gene expression already present in the renal vesicle, the first epithelial precursor of the nephron. We show that Hox gene readthrough transcripts can be spliced to produce intergenic homeobox swaps. We also identify a surprising number of genes with partially degraded noncoding RNA. Perhaps most interesting, at early developmental times single cells often expressed genes related to several developmental pathways. This provides powerful evidence that initial organogenesis involves a process of multilineage priming. This is followed by a combination of gene repression, which turns off the genes associated with most possible lineages, and the activation of increasing numbers of genes driving the chosen developmental

The quantity and duration of FcR signals determine mast cell degranulation and survival
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) bound to multivalent antigen (Ag) elicits mast cell degranulation but not survival; on the contrary, IgE in the absence of Ag (IgE(-Ag)) induces survival only but not degranulation. Although these distinct responses are mediated through the same receptor, Fc RI, the molecular mechanism generating the divergence is largely unknown. We recently showed that the signals throu...
متن کاملOn the appearance of carboxylates in electrostatic potential maps.
Electron microscopy can provide accurate, high-resolution images of the distribution of electrostatic potential (ESP) in biological macromolecules. Careful examination of ESP maps that have been published for peptides and proteins at resolution ranging from 1.0 Å to 2.9 Å reveals that the negative charges of carboxylate groups have a profound effect on their appearance. It is clear that investi...
متن کاملAbsence of HLA-B*1502 and HLA-A*3101 Alleles in 9 Korean Patients With Antiepileptic Drug-Induced Skin Rash: A Preliminary Study
There have been a number of studies about correlations between HLA genotypes in various ethnic groups and occurrence of various cutaneous adverse drug reactions, ranging in intensity from mild to severe, caused by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). This is the first report analyzing the HLA genotypes of 9 Korean patients with skin rashes induced by various AEDs. The AEDs that induced skin rash were la...
متن کاملUnderstanding Tools and Practices for Distributed Pair Programming
When considering the principles for eXtreme Programming, distributed eXtreme Programming, especially distributed pair programming, is a paradox predetermined to failure. However, global software development as well as the outsourcing of software development are integral parts of software projects. Hence, the support for distributed pair programming is still a challenging field for tool develope...
