Abstract:
Single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) allows for obtaining gene expression profiles from frozen or hard-to-dissociate tissues at the single-nuclei level. Here, we describe a protocol to obtain snRNA-seq data of pancreatic tumors from orthotopically grafted organoid-derived mouse models. We provide details on the establishment of these mouse models, the isolation of single nuclei from pancreatic tumors, and the analysis of the snRNA-seq datasets. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Mucciolo et al.1.
