Longitudinal Study of Gene Expression in the Human Placenta During First-trimester and Full-term Pregnancy at the Single Cell Level

The single nucleus RNA-seq approach allows the placental transcriptome to be analyzed from nuclei, thus preserving the integrity of placental syncytium. This approach is feasible on small fragments of villi and offers for the first time the possibility to consider the characterization of gene expression within the structural unit of the human placenta during pregnancy (at the 1st trimester and childbirth)
