RNA Sequencing Analysis of Wild Type Caput, Corpus, and Cauda Epididymal Transcriptomes

Purpose: The goal of this study is to detect differentially expressed genes, among Wild type caput, corpus, and cauda epididymis by RNA sequencing Methods: Caput, corpus, and cauda epidiymal mRNA profiles of 9-month-old wild-type mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. Results: RNA-seq data identified transcripts differentially expressed in caput, corpus, and cauda epididymis. Conclusions: Our results show that the expression of many genes were differentially regulated in caput, corpus, and cauda epididymis. Overall design: Caput, corpus, and cauda epididymal mRNA profiles of 9-month-old wild type mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx.
