Experimental design

To characterise the heterogeneity of RUNX1+ and RUNX1- fractions of the mouse prostate, we performed droplet-based scRNA-seq on the 10x genomics platform. We dissected individual lobes of intact/hormone naive and regressed/castrated mouse prostates, isolated from P2-Runx1:RFP reporter mice, expressing RFP as a surrogate of Runx1 expression. In order to compensate for the relative sparsity of RFP+ and RFP- cells respectively pre- and post-castration, we enriched for under-represented populations by FACS prior cell encapsulation. Individually sorted populations from each lobe were multiplexed using MULTI-seq lipid-tagged indices in order to minimize technical confounders such as multiplets and batch effects (McGinnis et al., 2019)
