Expression profiling for mouse embryonic stem cells deficient for Smad1 and Smad5 or for Bmp activated subpopulations.. Mus musculus

In this study we determine the transcriptional profile by RNAseq of mESC in the absence of Smad1 and Smad5 and in subpopulation of mESC with different levels of BMP-SMAD activation. Overall design: Transcriptome analysis using RNAseq was performed on 3 biological replicates of BRE negative and positive mESC subpopulations, which were collected in pairs at 3 different times. Transcriptome analysis using RNAseq was performed on Smad1/5 floxed (FL) and knockout (KO) mESC. Two different parental cell lines were used. For each parental cell line we analyzed one Smad1/5 FL sample and two Smad1/5 KO samples, resulting in respectively two and four biological replicates for the FL and KO conditions.
