RNA sequencing of mouse placenta in control and protein restricted pregnancies. RNA sequencing of mouse placenta in control and protein restricted pregnancies

We used RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes in whole mouse placentas. Pregnant mice were fed either a 20% or 6% protein (isocaloric) two-weeks before mating and throughout pregnancy. Placental lysates are derived from C57BL/6 conceptuses at E16.5 of gestation. Overall design: Examination of RNA expression in mouse placenta at E16.5. Samples were same-sex litter mates from n=5 pregnancies.
