RNA-Seq from early time points in the kidney differentiation protocol

The kidney differentiation protocol takes induced pluripotent stem cells through to kidney organoid via directed differentiation in approximately 25 days. Initially the cells are grown in a monolayer in a dish before being pelleted on day seven. We have performed RNA sequencing on three replicates taken at two points before cells are pelleted: day 0, when they are still iPSCs, and day 4 when cells have been exposed to growth factors and have started differentiating. Overall design: Gene expression profiling of six samples across two time points (Day 0 and Day 4)
