Next generation sequencing analysis of primary rat lung fibroblast, primary rat lung alveolar type 2 cell and a novel 10-4A rat lung cell line transcriptomes

Purpose: We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of a novel 10-4A rat lung fibroblast cell line and compared the transcriptome to freshly isolated primary rat lung fibroblasts and freshly isolated primary rat lung alveolar type 2 cells.
