Project description:Expression analysis was performed with in vitro cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) isolated from rat brain. The CGNs were culture for four weeks. Each sample was collected after interval of seven days. No treatment was given to any cultured neurons at any time point. The purpose of the experiment was to identify the genes differentially expressed during the senescence of CGNs. The experiment is useful in revealing the senescence associated genetic markers in neurons.
Project description:In order to establish a rat embryonic stem cell transcriptome, mRNA from rESC cell line DAc8, the first male germline competent rat ESC line to be described and the first to be used to generate a knockout rat model was characterized using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis.
