RNA Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Transcriptomes of H1 derived cells and H1 after MSX2-knockout derived cells at Day8 after human early hematopoietic differentiation .

Purpose: The goals of this study are to verify MSX2 knock is suffice to promote hematopoiesis during human early hematopoietic differentiation through comparing the transcriptome profilings in WT samples and MSX2-knockout samples collected at day 8 after hematopoietic differentiation. Method: mRNA profiles of hESC samples collected at day 8 after hematopoiesis differentiation were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Conclusions: MSX2 knock is suffice to promote hematopoiesis during early hematopoietic differentiation of H1 cells. mRNA profiles of hESC samples collected at day 8 after hematopoiesis differentiation were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks.
