Potential role of gas6 in zebrafish hindbrain development. Potential role of gas6 in zebrafish hindbrain development

identification of differentially expressed genes in gas6 homozygous mutant hindbrain when compared to wildtype hindbrain in zebrafish Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from dissected hindbrain of gas6 homzygous mutants and wildtype embryos at 48hpf using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). Three libraries from wildtype embryos and three libraries from gas6 mutants were then generated from 3mg RNA using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit (Illumina). All libraries were analyzed for quality on a bioanalyzer prior to sequencing (Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer).
