RNA-seq data of lungs from mouse infected with different H5N1 Avian Influenza Viruses

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play multiple key regulatory roles in various biological processes. However, their function in influenza A virus (IAV) pathogenicity remains largely unexplored. Here, using next generation sequencing, we systemically compared the whole-transcriptome response of the mouse lung infected either with high-pathogenic (A/Chicken/Jiangsu/k0402/2010, CK10) or with nonpathogenic (A/Goose/Jiangsu/k0403/2010, GS10) H5N1 strains. A total of 370 significantly differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs from three replicates were identified associated with the high virulence of CK10, whereas the corresponding number for GS10 was 229. Overall design: Total three biological samples are analyzied, each of them had triplication.The three samples are CK10-infected mouse lung,the GS10-infected mouse lung and Mock PBS-infected mouse lung.
