Synthetic sgRNA and crRNA Service> | The crRNA (0.1nmole) was first annealed with an equimolar amount of transactivating crRNA (tracrRNA) in 5 µl in the annealing buffer (GenScript) by heating at 95°C for 5 min followed by rapid chilling | Get A Quote |
Retinal structure and function have been studied in many vertebrate orders, but molecular characterization has been largely confined to mammals. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to generate a cell atlas of the chick retina. We identified 136 cell types plus 14 positional or developmental intermediates distributed among the six classes conserved across vertebrates - photoreceptor, horizontal, bipolar, amacrine, retinal ganglion, and glial cells. To assess morphology of molecularly defined types, we adapted a method for CRISPR-based integration of reporters into selectively expressed genes. For Müller glia, we found that transcriptionally distinct cells were regionally localized along the anterior-... More
