GSE53545: Region-specific identity of small intestinal stem cells from the ileum and jejunum

Bulk RNA sequencing

We report the expression profiles of three stem-cell varieties derived from the ileum and jejunum, focusing on gene signatures that are consistent in all stem cells of an intestinal location. We find that intestinal stem cells establish and maintain a regional identity that is discernable through gene expression patterns consistent with intestinal function particular to that region.
