Single Cell Tracking of Orchestrated Transcription Dynamics During Stem Cell Fate Decision
Summary:
Transcription is a sporadic and stochastic process. Our previous study proved that the abundance and identity of mRNA molecules in a single cell are dynamic features. However, the stringent regulation in development and the stochasticity of gene expression seems to be a paradox. How do the sporadic transcription and stochastic splicing dynamics coordinate with lineage commitment? Here, I will present our preliminary data to elucidate the nascent RNA dynamics during human embryonic stem cell fate decisions. Through Fucci-assisted cell cycle tracking, barcoding mediated genome-wide nascent RNA dynamic tracking, we aim to reveal the real-time dynamics of global gene expression during the lineage commitment process.
