Sex x Stress

A Single Cell Dataset of Male and Female PVN


This dataset contains cells from the PVN of male and female mice 5 hours after 15min acute restraint stress (ARS) or 21 days of chronic mild stress and 15min of acute restraint stress (CMS ARS), and naive controls.

(A) Experimental Design of the Dataset. (B) Region isolated.

Cell information / gene expression violin plot / box plot

In this tab, users can visualise the gene expression or continuous cell information (e.g. Number of UMIs / module score) across groups of cells (e.g. libary / clusters).

Proportion / cell numbers across different cell information

In this tab, users can visualise the composition of single cells based on one discrete cell information across another discrete cell information. Usage examples include the library or cellcycle composition across clusters.

Gene expression bubbleplot / heatmap

In this tab, users can visualise the gene expression patterns of multiple genes grouped by categorical cell information (e.g. library / cluster).
The normalised expression are averaged, log-transformed and then plotted.
