RNASeq fastq files associated with the manuscript entitled 'Interspecies transcriptome analyses identify genes that control the development and evolution of limb skeletal proportion'

This next-generation sequencing dataset is associated with the research manuscript entitled ‘Interspecies transcriptome analyses identify genes that control the development and evolution of limb skeletal proportion’ (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/754002v2).

The folder ‘Zenodo_Saxena_etal_2021_RNASeq_FastqFiles’ contains raw/unprocessed RNASeq Fatsq read files for postnatal day 5 (P5) mouse (Mus) and jerboa (Jac) cartilage samples (Metatarsal = MT; Radius/Ulna = RU).

> The Jac_P5 subfolder contains single-end reads (R1) for five jerboa metatarsals (MT1-5) and radius/ulna (RU1-5) biological replicates. Jac_MT1-3 and Jac_RU1-3 were used in the primary differential expression analysis (n=3). Jac_MT4-5 and Jac_RU4-5 were used for independent validation (n=2) of the the primary analysis.   

> The Mus_P5 subfolder contains single-end reads (R1) for five mouse metatarsals (MT1-5) and radius/ulna (RU1-5) biological replicates. Mus_MT1-3 and Mus_RU1,3 & 4  were used in the primary differential expression analysis (n=3). Mus_MT4-5 and Mus_RU4 & 5 were used for independent validation (n=2) of the the primary analysis.
