Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type (WT) and dek37 mutant Transcriptomes

Analysis of gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that dek37 mutant affects cis-splicing of maize mitochondrial nad2 intron 1 . Results provide important information of the gene expression level regulation of mitochondrial pathway associated genes. Overall design: Endosperm mRNA profiles of 18DAP WT and dek37 mutant were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2500 (Zea mays).
