Transcriptome sequencing of equine sarcoids and skin samples

The aim of this study was to identify changes in transcriptome of horse sarcoids - a locally invasive skin tumors of equids, which are considered to be the most common equine skin neoplasm. The global expression of genes was investigated in 12 tumour samples and in 12 of healthy skin samples. Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for 12 equine sarcoids and 12 skin controls was performed using the Illumina NovaSeq platform.
