Study name : ROSMAP CUIMC snRNA-seq expression

Study Description : Single-nucleus RNA-seq expression data from 424 ROSMAP donors generated at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC1 dataset). Nuclei were isolated from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) postmortem brain tissue and profiled using droplet-based 10x Genomics snRNA-seq. Cell types covered: Astrocytes (Ast), Excitatory neurons (Exc), Inhibitory neurons (Inh), Microglia (Mic), Oligodendrocytes (Oli), and Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC). Pseudo-bulk expression matrices were generated per cell type for use in cis-eQTL analysis.

Dataset Description

Raw data

Nuclei were isolated from DLPFC postmortem brain tissue of 424 ROSMAP participants. Single-nucleus RNA-seq was performed using the 10x Genomics Chromium platform. Raw sequencing reads were aligned to the GRCh38 reference genome. The primary data release is available on the AD Knowledge Portal at syn31512863.

Molecular phenotype matrices

Pseudo-bulk count matrices were generated by aggregating UMI counts across nuclei within each cell type per donor. Six major brain cell types are included: Astrocytes (Ast), Excitatory neurons (Exc), Inhibitory neurons (Inh), Microglia (Mic), Oligodendrocytes (Oli), and Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC).

Phenotype preprocessing

Pseudo-bulk expression matrices were normalized and filtered following standard pipelines. Genes with low expression were excluded. Normalized expression values were prepared for use as molecular phenotypes in cis-eQTL mapping via the ADSP FGC xQTL pipeline. Covariates for eQTL analysis include sex, age at death, postmortem interval (PMI), study (ROS or MAP), total genes detected, top genotype principal components, and expression principal components.

Analysis Status

Pseudo-bulk expression preprocessing: Finished.
