RNA-Seq of rat dorsal root ganglions treated with paclitaxel against untreated controls

L4-L5 segment dorsal root ganglion (DRG) samples from controls and the paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) rats were collected at day 14 after the initiation of paclitaxel treatment. Paclitaxel and vehicle were administered intraperitoneally at 2 mg/kg for four consecutive days at a final cumulative dose of 8 mg/kg. DRG transcriptome analysis was performed by RNA sequencing using an Illumina HiSeq2500 platform.
