Gene expression dynamics during the embryonic development of mouse and chick telencephalon

In mouse, a vesicle forms at the anterior part of the developing embryo at 9.5 day/stage (M9.5), which further develops into telencephalon at M10.5 day/stage. The equivalent stages in chick embryo are referred to as HH17 and HH24. We sequenced RNA populations from telencephalic region at the early (M9.5 and HH17) and late stages (M10.5 and HH24) of mouse and chick embryo. Four samples were sequenced for each stage of telencephalon development. The resulting RNA sequencing reads were used to assemble transcripts and for counting their abundance. The read counts for each transcript then used to compute its differential expression between M9.5 and M10.5 stages in mouse. Likewise, each chick transcript was compared between H17 and HH24 stages. The raw read counts for transcripts and their differential expression results between early and late stages of development are provided here.
