Transcriptomic profiling of kidney transplant recipients [RNA-seq]

RNA-seq data of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from participants pre- and post- kidney transplant(Tx) was generated to study 1) gene expression difference between pre- and postTx, 2) gene expression difference between cytomegalovirus (CMV) seropositive and seronegative in preTx, 3) immune response regarding Tx and immunosuppression prophylaxes, and 4) how the gene expression and DNA methylation are associated. We collected PBMC for RNA-seq from 37 kidney transplant patients with samples collected before and then 3 months after transplantation.
