yylncT acts as a gatekeeper of the mesodermal transcriptional program by local modulation of DNMT3B [mouse]

Bidirectional transcription is a prevalent feature of eukaryotic promoters. The goal of this study is to identify novel divergent long-coding RNAs during differentiation of human ES to cardiomyocytes. Methods: Paired end RNA-Seq was performed on the tissue obtained from the cardiogenic region of the indicated embroynic stages of mice. Following stages of mouse development were used:- E8,E8.5,E9.5 and E14., Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about ~70 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm10). Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed analysis of the genome wide identification of divergent long-coding RNA generated by paired end RNA-seq technology. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of long-non coding RNA content within a cell. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biological functions. We have used 4 different time-point (all in triplicates), covering the key stages of in vivo cardiac development in mice embryos. It includes E8, E8.5, E9.5 and E14.
