Description

The aim of the study was to investigate X-inactivation during human T-cell development in the thymus. Thymocytes from six different developmental stages from seven individuals were isolated and studied regarding gene expression. The data set contains data from RNA sequencing, DNA methylation and whole exome sequencing.

The dataset contains data from the manuscript "A landscape of X-inactivation during human T-cell development in the thymus" by Gylemo et al, and consists of results from RNA sequencing (fastq.gz), analysis of DNA methylation (Grn.idat) and whole exome DNA sequencing (fastq.gz) of six developmental stages of thymocytes from seven individuals.

The data is described on individual and cell-type level in the tab-separated metadata files (.tsv).
MD5 checksums for each file are included.
