mRNA-sequencing of METTL3-deficient NK cells

Purpose: For comparing the transcript changes, we conducted mRNA-sequencing of splenic NK cells from Ncr1Cre-Mettl3fl/fl (cKO) and Mettl3fl/fl (WT) mice. Method: Firstly, The splenic NK cells (CD45.2+CD3-NK1.1+NKp46+) are purified via Fluorescence activated Cell Sorting (FACS), then frozen in -80 °C ultra-low temperature refrigerator, followed by High-throughput sequencing, in three replicates, using Illumina Hiseq 1500 platform. Result: Using standard data process workflow, we found the differentailly expressed genes in NK cells from Ncr1Cre-Mettl3fl/fl (cKO) mice, compared with those from Mettl3fl/fl (WT) mice. Find the DEGs in cKO NK cells.
