RNA-Seq of Drosophila melanogaster Cdk12-null mutants versus control. RNA-Seq of Drosophila melanogaster Cdk12-null mutants versus control

In a forward genetic screen, we have previously identified a null mutant of Cdk12 that results in alterations in actin dynamics, the axon initial segment and electrophysiology in Drosophila melanogaster. To decipher how Cdk12 may be having these effects, we extracted RNA from pooled Drosophila heads and compared Cdk12-null mutants to controls at the transcriptome level.
