Project description:To quantify gene expression differences in olfactory epithelium between the mouse (Mus musculus) and the Nile rat (Arvicanthis niloticus), paired-end RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to profile olfactory epithelium transcriptomes of six Nile rats and six mice (C57BL/6J) (one male and one female at the age of 8, 12, and 16 weeks for each species).
Project description:We generated the first ultra-deep Nile grass rat RNA-seq data from 60 biopsy samples representing 22 major organs, providing a unique resource and spatial transcriptomic reference (e.g., tissue gene expression baseline) for using Nile grass rat as a model to study human diseases.
