Matings between female mice carrying Searle's translocation, T(X;16)16H, and normal males give rise to chromosomally unbalanced zygotes with two complete sets of autosomes, one normal X chromosome and one X16 translocation chromosome (XnX16 embryos). Since X chromosome inactivation does not occur in these embryos, probably due to the lack of the inactivation center on X16, XnX16 embryos are functionally disomic for the proximal 63% of the X chromosome and trisomic for the distal segment of chromosome 16. Developmental abnormalities found in XnX16 embryos include: (1) growth retardation detected as early as stage 9, (2) continual loss of embryonic ectoderm cells either by death or by expulsion into the proamniotic cavity, (3) underdevelopment of the ectoplacental cone throughout the course of development, (4) very limited, if any, mesoderm formation, (5) failure in early organogenesis including the embryo, amnion, chorion and yolk sac. Death occurred at 10 days p.c. Since the combination of XO and trisomy 16 does not severely affect early mouse development, it is likely that regulatory mechanisms essential for early embryogenesis do not function correctly in XnX16 embryos due to activity of the extra X chromosome segment of X16.

Abstract Motivation Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays a key post-transcriptional regulatory role in mRNA stability and functions in eukaryotes. Single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool to discover cellular heterogeneity at gene expression level. Given 3′ enriched strategy in library construction, the most commonly used scRNA-seq protocol—10× Genomics enables us to improve the study resolution of APA to the single cell level. However, currently there is no computational tool available for investigating APA profiles from scRNA-seq data. Results Here, we present a package scDAPA for detecting and visualizing dynamic APA from scRNA-seq data. Taking bam/sam files and cell cluster labels as inputs, scDAPA detects APA dynamics using a histogram-based method and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and visualizes candidate genes with dynamic APA. Benchmarking results demonstrated that scDAPA can effectively identify genes with dynamic APA among different cell groups from scRNA-seq data. Availability and implementation The scDAPA package is implemented in Shell and R, and is freely available at https://scdapa.sourceforge.io.

Abstract Motivation Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become an important tool to unravel cellular heterogeneity, discover new cell (sub)types, and understand cell development at single-cell resolution. However, one major challenge to scRNA-seq research is the presence of ‘drop-out’ events, which usually is due to extremely low mRNA input or the stochastic nature of gene expression. In this article, we present a novel single-cell RNA-seq drop-out correction (scDoc) method, imputing drop-out events by borrowing information for the same gene from highly similar cells. Results scDoc is the first method that directly involves drop-out information to accounting for cell-to-cell similarity estimation, which is crucial in scRNA-seq drop-out imputation but has not been appropriately examined. We evaluated the performance of scDoc using both simulated data and real scRNA-seq studies. Results show that scDoc outperforms the existing imputation methods in reference to data visualization, cell subpopulation identification and differential expression detection in scRNA-seq data. Availability and implementation R code is available at https://github.com/anlingUA/scDoc. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
