Excited to share the first long-read single cell isoform atlas of human hearts from our lab, published in the leading cardiac journal. Very proud of the first author, Tim Pan, who is my first PhD student at Northwestern University @nu_dgp @NU_BMG_SQE Thanks all the team members
Long-read single-nucleus RNA-seq reveals widespread isoform heterogeneity in the adult human heart. In cardiomyocytes, 379 genes show heart failure–associated isoform shifts, altering coding outcomes. @Ruli_Gao @NUFeinbergMed @hfdocbhimaraj @WilcoxHeart
