Whole transcriptome profiling of the Eya2 knockout mouse pineal gland and retina

Mice were obtained in which the transcription co-factor, Eya2, was knocked out. The transcriptomes of the pineal gland and retina were measured to determine the effect of this gene deletion on these tissues. Samples were taken at both mid-day and mid-night. In addition, samples were taken of mixed non-pineal tissues at mid-day and mid-night.
