Shared and organ-specific gene-expression programs during the development of the cochlea and the superior olivary complex [miRNA-seq]

To study and compare the genes and miRNA expression during the development of the Organ of Corti and the Superior Olivary complex, representing the peripheral and the central auditory systems. Overall design: We extracted RNA and small RNA from these two organs at 3 important developmental time points and performed bioinformatical analysis of the expression.
