Project description:MPP2, MPP3 and CLP populations were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from the BM of B6 mice based on the surface expression of VCAM1, FLT3 and IL7Ra within LSK population. On average 100K cells were analyzed for each population in 3 independent biological experiments. We generated sequence libraries from these low RNA inputs using the SMARTer Stranded RNA-Seq and sequenced at high depth of coverage to generate ~2x120 M reads per biological replicate.
Project description:A transcriptome study in mouse hematopoietic stem cells was performed using a sensitive SAGE method, in an attempt to detect medium and low abundant transcripts expressed in these cells. Among a total of 31,380 unique transcript, 17,326 (55%) known genes were detected, 14,054 (45%) low-copy transcripts that have no matches to currently known genes. 3,899 (23%) were alternatively spliced transcripts of the known genes and 3,754 (22%) represent anti-sense transcripts from known genes.
