Atopic Dermatitis RNA-seq cohort

To gain a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of AD, we conducted a large-scale transcriptomic study of AD with deeply-sequenced RNA-seq samples using long (125b) paired-end reads. By integrating deep sequencing-based skin transcriptome profiling with systems biology analysis, we are able to provide deep characterization for the expression signatures for AD. We performed high-depth sequencing transcriptomes obtained from a carefully matched and tightly defined cohort of AD patients, whom were recruited within an ongoing investigator-initiated clinical study to identify shared and distinct disease mechanisms of AD and Psoriasis.
