Transcriptome analyses of taste organoids reveal multiple pathways involved in taste cell generation

Abstract Taste cells undergo constant turnover throughout life; however, the molecular mechanisms governing taste cell generation are not well understood. Using RNA-Seq, we systematically surveyed the transcriptome landscape of taste organoids at different stages of growth. Our data show the staged...
