| description | To obtain new insight into the sexual dimorphism of mammalian livers, single-nucleus RNA-seq was performed on the liver samples from two female and two male adult mice. The single-nucleus libraries were generated on the 10X Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3' platform and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 550. We used the data to understand the heterogeneity and sex-biased gene expression of liver cell types. The data revealed significant sex differences primarily focused on hepatocytes. Specifically, from the sex-biased genes detected at the bulk tissue level, we observed that male-biased genes are more highly expressed in male hepatocytes, and female-biased genes are more highly expressed in female hepatocytes. |
