Single nuclei RNA sequencing (ParseBio) of postmortem cingulate cortex and midbrain of healthy donors and Parkinson's disease patients.

This dataset consists of raw sequencing snRNA-seq data using ParseBio Evercode Whole Transcriptome. The data is part of an overall set of samples derived from postmortem midbrain (n=140), cingulate cortex (n=190) and motor cortex (n=4) of healthy donors (n=114), patients with Parkinson's disease (n=75) or patients with other neurological disorder (n=1). The protocol followed to isolate nuclei from postmortem brain samples and to prepare sequencing libraries can be found below. To increase throughput and to decrease batch effects, several donors have been pooled together into a specific ParseBio barcode. To computationally demultiplex the nuclei to their corresponding donors, cellsnp-lite (version commit: aad18644adcde853c313362a856a24245c9b91f7) followed by vireo (https://github.com/single-cell-genetics/vireo/pull/108) has been used. The population VCF with the donor genotypes derived from whole genome sequencing data has been used to assign nuclei back to their donors.
