Effect of Nitric oxide on heart development and its transcriptome analysis.. Gallus gallus

Scope: To understand the effect of nitric oxide on cardiogenesis in reference to first heart beat. Overall design: Methods: The trancriptome sequencing was performed using Illumina HiSeq 2500 ® platform. The sequence reads were aligned to the reference genome of chicken (Galgal4) downloaded from Ensembl Release 81 database using STAR (version 2.4.2a ). Expression estimation carried out using cufflinks program (version 2.2.1).Differential expression analysis carried using the cuffdiff program in cufflinks(version 2.2.1). Heat maps were generated for gene expression analysis using R statistical software.
