A comprehensive roadmap of spermatogenesis and testis niche from single-cell RNA-seq
Continuous sperm production is not necessary for the survival of the organism, but is essential to maintain a species. The process of spermatogenesis is comprised of three phases: mitotic proliferation, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. To illuminate germline intrinsic and extrinsic programs, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on ~35K cells from the adult mouse testis. This analysis provides a comprehensive molecular atlas of the testis, identifying both known and novel cell types. We demonstrat...

Deep data QC
metadata only · no data-level QC for this typeStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained
No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.
measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
