The effects of NAT10 on heart development in mice

The goal of this study is to investigate how NAT10 regulates heart development in mice. mRNA profiles in hearts of Nat10flox/flox and cardiomyocyte-specific Nat10 knockout (Nat10-CKO) mice at 10 days old were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina novaseq x plus (n=3 for each group). Methods: Total RNA was extracted using Tripure Isolation Reagent (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) from hearts of Nat10flox/flox and Nat10-CKO mice at 10 days old. Three independent biological replicates for each group were used for RNA-seq. RNA-seq was performed by deep sequencing using an Illumina novaseq x plus. Paired-end clean reads were aligned to the mouse reference genome(grcm39) with Hisat2 (2.2.1), and the aligned reads were used to quantify mRNA expression by using featureCounts (2.0.6).
