From: Transcriptomic mapping uncovers Purkinje neuron plasticity driving learning

a, Schematic representation of the arrangement of mouse Fgfr2 exons and the two targeting gRNAs. b, Schematic representation of the AAV vectors of Plcb4-SaCas9, U6-Scramble gRNA and U6-Fgfr2 gRNAs. c, Sequencing analyses showing an example of insertion/deletions (indels) mediated by SaCas9/Fgfr2 gRNA1 and gRNA2 in mouse Fgfr2 genomic loci after co-expression of SaCas9 and Fgfr2 gRNAs in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. d, Predicted off-target sites of Fgfr2 gRNAs. e, Genomic DNA sequences surrounding the targeting or off-targeting loci were amplified by PCR and ligated to T vector. After transformation, colonies of each group were sequenced and the percentage of colonies showing indels were calculated. f, Sequencing analyses showing examples of indels in Fgfr2 genomic loci of INTACT-enriched Purkinje neuron nuclei after AAV-mediated expression of SaCas9 and Fgfr2 gRNAs. g, Percentage of indels introduced in mouse Fgfr2 genomic loci of Purkinje neurons after AAV-mediated expression of SaCas9 and Fgfr2 gRNAs. h, Representative immunofluorescence images of Fgfr2 and Calbindin or Plcb4 in lobules IV/V in cerebellar sagittal sections of scramble or Fgfr2-KO mice. Scale bar, 100 μm. i, Split UMAP plot visualization of granule neurons, Purkinje neurons, interneurons, glial cells and oligodendrocytes from anterior vermis lobules of scramble and Fgfr2-KO samples under baseline and learned conditions. j, Visualization of molecular signatures of each population by their percentage and average gene expressions. k, Heat map of INTACT-FACS-snRNA-seq data from the anterior vermis lobules of Fgfr2-KO or control mice, presented as normalized Z-scores. l, Scatter plot showing the differential expression indices for each DEG in Aldoc+ or Plcb4+ Purkinje neurons upon Fgfr2-KO in Plcb4+ Purkinje neurons. m, Brown/black module genes were not reduced upon Fgfr2-KO in Plcb4+ cells. p = 1.08e-07 for scramble and p = 2.2e-16 for Fgfr2-KO, two-sided unpaired t-test. n = 2 in biologically independent snRNA-seq. 977 cells, 637 cells in scramble baseline and learned samples. 974 cells, 1514 cells in Fgfr2-KO baseline and learned samples.
