Three in One: The VLBI Radio View of the X-ray Quasar RX J1456.0+5048
RX J1456.0+5048 is a prominent X-ray source detected by ROSAT. There is
~100-mJy level radio emission associated with the X-ray source. However,
interferometric observations with increasing angular resolution revealed that
three distinct objects located within 2 arcmin are responsible for the measured
total flux density. Whether these radio sources lining up in the sky are
physically associated or just seen close to each other in projection is not
immediately clear. In fact, incorrect cross-identification of the X-ray,
optical and radio sources can already be found in the literature. Here we
summarise the current knowledge about this intriguing group of objects, where
two of the three sources show compact radio emission detected with very long
baseline interferometry (VLBI). We present a VLBI image of one of them for the
first time, based on archival European VLBI Network (EVN) data taken at 5 GHz.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. To appear in the proceedings of the European VLBI

The changing mouse embryo transcriptome at whole tissue and single-cell resolution
In mammalian embryogenesis differential gene expression gradually builds the identity and complexity of each tissue and organ system. We systematically quantified mouse polyA-RNA from embryo day E10.5 to birth, sampling 17 whole tissues, enhanced with single-cell measurements for the developing limb. The resulting developmental transcriptome is globally structured by dynamic cytodifferentiation, body-axis and cell-proliferation gene sets, characterized by their promoters’ transcription factor (TF) motif codes. We decomposed the tissue-level transcriptome using scRNA-seq and found that neurogenesis and haematopoiesis dominate at both the gene and cellular levels, jointly accounting for 1/3 of differential gene expression and over 40% of identified cell types. Integrating promoter sequence motifs with companion ENCODE epigenomic profiles identified a promoter de-repression mechanism unique to neuronal expression clusters and attributable to known and novel repressors. Focusing on the developing limb, scRNA-seq identified 25 known and candidate novel cell types, including progenitor and differentiating states with computationally inferred lineage relationships. We extracted cell type TF networks and complementary sets of candidate enhancer elements by de-convolving whole-tissue IDEAS epigenome chromatin state models. These ENCODE reference data, computed network components and IDEAS chromatin segmentations, are companion resources to the matching epigenomic developmental matrix, available for researchers to further mine and integrate

The changing mouse embryo transcriptome at whole tissue and single-cell resolution.
During mammalian embryogenesis, differential gene expression gradually builds the identity and complexity of each tissue and organ system1. Here we systematically quantified mouse polyA-RNA from day 10.5 of embryonic development to birth, sampling 17 tissues and organs. The resulting developmental transcriptome is globally structured by dynamic cytodifferentiation, body-axis and cell-proliferation gene sets that were further characterized by the transcription factor motif codes of their promoters. We decomposed the tissue-level transcriptome using single-cell RNA-seq (sequencing of RNA reverse transcribed into cDNA) and found that neurogenesis and haematopoiesis dominate at both the gene and cellular levels, jointly accounting for one-third of differential gene expression and more than 40% of identified cell types. By integrating promoter sequence motifs with companion ENCODE epigenomic profiles, we identified a prominent promoter de-repression mechanism in neuronal expression clusters that was attributable to known and novel repressors. Focusing on the developing limb, single-cell RNA data identified 25 candidate cell types that included progenitor and differentiating states with computationally inferred lineage relationships. We extracted cell-type transcription factor networks and complementary sets of candidate enhancer elements by using single-cell RNA-seq to decompose integrative cis-element (IDEAS) models that were derived from whole-tissue epigenome chromatin data. These ENCODE reference data, computed network components and IDEAS chromatin segmentations are companion resources to the matching epigenomic developmental matrix, and are available for researchers to further mine and integrate
