Data from: Reference transcriptomics of porcine peripheral immune cells created through bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-11-21
This dataset contains files reconstructing single-cell data presented in 'Reference transcriptomics of porcine peripheral immune cells created through bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing' by Herrera-Uribe & Wiarda et al. 2021. Samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from seven pigs and processed for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in order to provide a reference annotation of porcine immune cell transcriptomics at enhanced, single-cell resolution. Analysis of single-cell data allowed identification of 36 cell clusters that were further classified into 13 cell types, including monocytes, dendritic cells, B cells, antibody-secreting cells, numerous populations of T cells, NK cells, and erythrocytes. Files may be used to reconstruct the data as presented in the manuscript, allowing for individual query by other users. Scripts for original data analysis are available at https://github.com/USDA-FSEPRU/PorcinePBMCs_bulkRNAseq_scRNAseq. Raw data are available at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB43826. Funding for this dataset was also provided by NRSP8: National Animal Genome Research Program (https://www.nimss.org/projects/view/mrp/outline/18464). Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Herrera-Uribe & Wiarda et al. PBMCs - All Cells 10X Format. File Name: PBMC7_AllCells.zipResource Description: Zipped folder containing PBMC counts matrix, gene names, and cell IDs. Files are as follows: matrix of gene counts* (matrix.mtx.gx) gene names (features.tsv.gz) cell IDs (barcodes.tsv.gz) *The ‘raw’ count matrix is actually gene counts obtained following ambient RNA removal. During ambient RNA removal, we specified to calculate non-integer count estimations, so most gene counts are actually non-integer values in this matrix but should still be treated as raw/unnormalized data that requires further normalization/transformation. Data can be read into R using the function Read10X().Resource Title: Herrera-Uribe & Wiarda et al. PBMCs - All Cells Metadata. File Name: PBMC7_AllCells_meta.csvResource Description: .csv file containing metadata for cells included in the final dataset.
