Cell Type-Specific Transcriptomics Reveals that Mutant Huntingtin Leads to Mitochondrial RNA Release and Neuronal Innate Immune Activation
The mechanisms by which mutant Huntingtin leads to neuronal cell death in Huntington’s disease are not fully understood. To gain new molecular insights, we used snRNA-Seq and TRAP to conduct transcriptomic analyses of striatal cell type-specific gene expression changes in human HD and mouse models of HD. In striatal spiny projection neurons we observe a release of mitochondrial RNA and a concomitant upregulation of innate immune signaling in spiny projection neurons. We observe that the release...

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.
