RNA sequencing of Necrotizing enterocolitis

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe inflammatory disorder of the intestine that affects neonatal babies. Despite the severe nature of the disease, its rare incidence and early onset prevent further understanding of its etiology and the development of treatment strategies. To further understand the pathogenic mechanism of this disease, we subjected intestinal tissues from then NEC patients and three control individuals to RNA-sequencing.
