Project description:In order to understand the effects that egg consumption has on tissue-specific microRNA and gene expression, we examined the role of whole egg consumption (20% protein, w/w) on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between male rat (n =12) transcriptomes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), liver, kidney and adipose tissue.
Project description:We performed deep sequencing of the miRNAs present in ~20 toxicologically relevant tissues in Sprague Dawley rats and used three independent analysis of the data to determine which miRNAs are tissue specific and tissue enriched. We performed deep sequencing of miRNAs in 21 organs from 5 male Sprague Dawley rats and 23 organs from 5 female Sprague Dawley rats.
