MicroRNA signatures of the developing primate fovea

Purpose: Uncover the mRNA and microRNA signatures of non-human primate retina during development. 1) Comparison of mRNA profiles from nasal versus temporal rhesus macaque retinal punches at embryonic days (E)50 (n=3), E90 (n=1, pair-end sequencing), andE 150 (n=1, pair-end sequencing), using Illumina NextSeq 500 system (Illumina, San Diego, CA). 2) Comparison of microRNA (miRNA) profiles from nasal versus temporal rhesus macaque retinal punches at embryonic day 50 (n=3), using Illumina NextSeq 500 system (Illumina, San Diego, CA).
