Shared and organ-specific gene-expression programs during the development of the cochlea and the superior olivary complex [RNA-seq]

To study and compare the genes and miRNA expression during the development of the Organ of Corti and the Superior Olivary complex, representing the peripheral and the central auditory systems. We extracted RNA and small RNA from these two organs at 3 important developmental time points and performed bioinformatical analysis of the expression and performed bioinformatical analysis of the expression.本研究旨在探究并对比代表外周听觉系统的耳蜗螺旋器（Organ of Corti）与代表中枢听觉系统的上橄榄复合体（Superior Olivary complex）发育过程中的基因及微小RNA（miRNA）表达情况。我们在三个关键发育时间点从这两类器官中提取了总RNA与小RNA，并针对其表达情况开展了生物信息学分析。
