RNA-Seq analysis of MCV-miR-M1 mimic-transfected HEK293 cells

To determine transcriptomic changes in cellular targets induced by MCV-miR-M1. Briefly, HEK293 cells were transfected with either MCV-miR-M1-5p, MCV-miR-M1-3p or control mimic (Thermo Fisher Scientific) prior to RNA extraction and confirmation of MCV miRNA 5p and 3p expression via stem loop qRT-PCR. Total RNA libraries were prepared using TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Sample Prep Kit (Illumina, USA) and the TruSeq cDNA libraries were analysed via Illumina HiSeq2500 paired end 100bp.
