Effect of maternal iron deficiency on placental transcriptome in mouse

the goal of this study is to use high-throughput RNA-Sequencing technology to identify genes that are differentially expressed in iron deficient (ID) placentas compared to iron adequate (IA) placentas. A secondary aim is to explore whether iron deficiency has differential impact on male compared with female placental transcriptome. Overall design: Examination of placental transcriptome expression in iron deficient (ID) and iron adequate (IA) mouse placenta
