Ag Data Commons migration begins October 18, 2023

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new platform – an institutional portal on Figshare. Starting October 18 the current system will be available for search and download only. Submissions will resume after the launch of our portal on Figshare in November. Stay tuned for details!

Regional epithelial cell diversity in the small intestine of pigs

    Single cell suspensions enriched for epithelial cells were obtained from duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of a 7.5-week-old pig and subjected to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). scRNA-seq was performed to provide transcriptomic profiles of epithelial cells, with 695 cells annotated into 6 cell types. Deeper interrogation of data revealed previously undescribed cells in porcine intestine, and region-specific gene expression profiles within specific cell subsets. Data herein includes a .h5seurat files of the epithelial cell subsets analyzed.

    Data from: Profile of the Spleen Transcriptome in Beef Steers with Variation in Gain and Feed Intake

      This study examines the spleen in beef steers, a major lymphatic organ near the digestive tract, to determine whether it was also influencing individual feed efficiency status through immune responses. A total of 1216 genes were identified as differentially expressed. Data suggests the splenic contribution to some of the underlying variation among gain and intake may be a result of immune function and stress response. In addition, some of the differences in immune response functions may be related to gene copy number.
