RNA-seq of nulliparus Robo1+/+ and Robo1-/- luminal progenitors. RNA-seq of nulliparus Robo1+/+ and Robo1-/- luminal progenitors

The goal of the study was to compare gene expression of Robo1+/+ and Robo1-/- luminal progenitors. Total RNAs were then extracted from FACS purified luminal progenitor cells, harvested from Robo1+/+ or Robo1-/- mice (n=3 per genotype, two animals per n) using TRIreagent LS (Sigma, T3934). Poly(A)+ RNA sequencing libraries were made from each sample using the TruSeq RNA library preparation kit v.1 (Illumina). Illumina RNA PolyA library preparation guide. A total of 6 libraries were created by PCR amplification with Illumina barcoding primers using kit recommended conditions and quantified using a Bioanalyzer DNA 1000 kit (Agilent). Overall design: Total RNAs were isolated from FACS purified luminal progenitors, and sequenced on a HiSeq 2000 Sequencing system (Illumina).
